A compact camellia shrub with huge double pink flowers! Plant one in your garden to enjoy the blooms from October through December.

• Fabulous pink blossoms
• Resistant to drought
• Adaptable to various types of soil

The large pink blooms on this camellia will flower for most of the autumn months. This evergreen shrub also makes a perfect hedge.

Shi Shi Gashira is a low-growing camellia perfect for small and tight spaces. Plant 3-4 ft. apart to form a nice compact hedge, or brighten any foundation planting.

Ideal solution for screening air-conditioning units, well pumps, trash bins, or any other unsightly residential or commercial areas.

The bright pink blooms appear mid-season around early October, and will continue to bloom into early December.

The flowers are double blooming in nature, and very large – nearly 3-5 inches across!

Tolerant of a wide range of soil and environmental conditions, Shi Shi Gashira is a top-notch performer. All camellias are easily pruned into any desired shape with no fear of damaging the plant. We recommend pruning in early spring before the new growth has emerged.

Your Camellia arrives with a large, 3 gallon root structure for the price of what others charge for a 1 gallon. We grow it 3-4 years so that it will immediately look good in your landscape. This is several years longer than our competitors, but it's a difference you'll love when it starts exploding with beautiful blooms.

Your Camellia 'Shi-Shi Gashira' can be planted any time of year!

While some orders go out immediately, most are shipped within 7-10 days of your order date. This does not include transit time, which can be several days depending on your state.

We try to avoid plants being in transit over the weekend, which may cause your order to be shipped out at the beginning of the following week. We use FedEx so your order is shipped quickly.

Several products are delayed shipping until the Fall or Spring. These delays are stated on the product description page and helps us insure that you get the healthiest plants possible. On rare occasions, we will delay shipping if we see severe weather forecasts for your area or ours or if we encounter other unusual issues.

If you would like to postpone or reschedule your ship date, just call us and we can send your plants out at a more convenient time for you. If you are sending plants as a gift or need them quicker than normal, we encourage you to place your order by phone.

It's Easy to Plant your Camellia 'Shi-Shi Gashira'
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Camellia 'Shi-Shi Gashira'. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Camellia 'Shi-Shi Gashira' gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Camellia 'Shi-Shi Gashira' again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Beautiful flowers! I planted these over the summer and they are doing great. It's Nov and they have started blooming even though some critters kept breaking branches off of it. I live in zone 7 and have lots of pine trees.
