Sasanqua Cleopatra

Sasanqua Cleopatra

Sasanqua Cleopatra is a refined evergreen camellia admired for its graceful blush-pink blooms that appear from fall through early winter. The semi-double flowers have a delicate, romantic look, standing out beautifully against the plant’s glossy, dark green foliage. Blooming during the cooler months, Cleopatra adds softness and color to the landscape when many flowering plants have faded.

This variety has a naturally upright and well-branched growth habit, making it an excellent choice for hedges, privacy screens, foundation plantings, or as a striking focal point. Sasanqua Cleopatra is valued for its adaptability, improved cold tolerance, and relatively low-maintenance nature. Its tidy form and reliable blooming make it suitable for both formal garden designs and relaxed landscape settings, offering year-round structure with seasonal floral interest.
