Dream Weaver Camellia

Glossy evergreen leaves and waves of rosy-pink blooms that open just as the rest of the garden goes quiet, from fall into winter.

The Dream Weaver Camellia (Camellia sasanqua 'Dream Weaver') is an upright, evergreen flowering shrub prized for its cold-season show. Where most shrubs have finished by autumn, this sasanqua is just beginning, unfurling semi-double, rose-pink flowers against dense, lustrous dark-green foliage. Its tall, slightly columnar habit reaches 6 to 8 feet high and 4 to 6 feet wide, giving it the presence of a small flowering tree while staying narrow enough for tighter spaces. The polished leaves hold their color all year, so even between bloom cycles it earns its place as a structural evergreen.

Why growers choose the Dream Weaver Camellia

• Off-season bloom. Flowers arrive from fall into winter, bringing rosy-pink color to the landscape when little else is in flower.
• Year-round evergreen structure. Glossy, deep-green foliage stays handsome through every season, working as a screen or backdrop long after the petals drop.
• Upright, space-saving form. A tall, relatively narrow habit fits beside entries, between windows, or along property lines where width is limited.
• Pollinator value when it counts. Late blooms are a welcome nectar source for bees and other foragers active on mild autumn days.
• Sasanqua toughness. Sasanqua camellias tolerate more sun than their japonica cousins and are at home in the warmth of zones 7 through 10.

Use it as a glossy evergreen hedge or screen, an elegant foundation anchor beside a doorway, a vertical accent in a mixed shrub border, or a single specimen where its winter flowers can be enjoyed up close from a window or walkway.
