Being a specialist Camellia grower, Flora Nursery were delighted when they crafted a chance seedling of a new and unique camellia variety – Camellia Sasanqua Creek.
While conducting their daily watering throughout the nursery, Frank and Anna were surprised to see a small camellia start to grow within the creek on the property. Intrigued by this new growth, they left it alone to see what plant it may become. As it grew, they became more and more excited to realise it was a new camellia variety.
Frank originally wanted to call the plant Camellia ‘Aqua Flora’ which made sense as it started within a water system and would have included the business name within its name. However, the garden industry advised they were not allowed to do this, as it had a Latin and Botanical name within the suggested name. Therefore, they settled on the name ‘Creek’. Symbolising where the plant had started its journey.
The Camellia Sasanqua Creek is a beautiful single white camellia with a large stamen.
It is a fast-growing variety, which makes it very popular for hedging and landscaping to achieve a mature garden look faster. The evergreen camellia provides a yearlong beautiful green plant, while its winter flowers provide a beautiful burst of colour and life within the cooler months.
Flora Nursery supply the Camellia Sasanqua Creek to nurseries, garden maintenance and landscapers.
If you would like a unique white camellia in your garden, ask your local nursery or landscaper to source the Creek Camellia from Flora Nursery. Alternatively, contact us to find the nearest nursery to you who is currently stocking the Camellia Creek plants.
