Camellia sasanqua 'Hiryu' is a striking evergreen shrub known for its vibrant, semi-double, deep rose to crimson-red flowers with bright golden-yellow stamens. Blooming profusely from fall into early winter, 'Hiryu' brings bold, early-season color to the garden when few other plants are in flower. The dark green, glossy foliage provides a beautiful backdrop, enhancing the dramatic effect of the blooms. With a dense, upright growth habit, it is ideal for use as a hedge, screen, or specimen plant. 'Hiryu' thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and performs well in full sun to partial shade, offering reliable performance and long-lasting visual appeal.
