Hiryu

A vibrant and reliable early bloomer, Camellia sasanqua ‘Hiryu’ is well known for its bright colour and strong garden performance.

It produces small to medium, single flowers in a rich deep pink to reddish-pink, often with a contrasting cluster of golden stamens at the centre. Flowering occurs in the early season, bringing colour to the garden from autumn.

‘Hiryu’ has a vigorous, upright to slightly spreading growth habit, forming a medium-sized evergreen shrub that responds well to pruning and shaping.

Ideal for hedging, screening, espalier, or feature planting, and also suitable for large pots or containers, this hardy variety is a popular choice for adding bold colour and structure early in the season.
