Description

Translating to “Autumn in Villages,” ‘Chisato No Aki’ is a rare and beautiful fall flowering Camellia that originated in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan and was registered in 1987. This beauty features abundant and showy irregular peony form white flowers that measure 3 to 4 inches across, which is quite large for a fall flowering Camellia. Yellow stamens peak out at the center. A fast growing arching shrub to 10 feet or so tall and wide with deep green large leaves, this fall beauty is a gorgeous addition to light up partially shaded woodland or flowering shrub borders. We list this one as cold hardy to Zone 7a however have heard that it has survived several winters in Zone 6b.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and equally as wide, the Chisato No Aki Camellia can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As the shrub grows lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree that serves well as an a colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to fall gardens, camellia gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, and shade and woodland gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
