Autumn Camellia, Christmas Camellia
Hello, I just received the plant. A bit confused about its size. On the website, it's stated as 3m, I ordered it for a place where privacy is a bit of an issue. But on the label attached to the plant, it says 1.8m. Do you know what the truth is, please? Thank you.

Description
The Camellia sasanqua Kanjiro bush grows quite rapidly in clumps. Its upright habit contributes to making it more graceful than Camellia japonica. This less common 'sasanqua' variety blooms from November to February, only stopping when it gets too cold, on the shoots of the current year or those of the previous year. These large rosette flowers, 10 cm (4 in) in diameter, are semi-double and fragrant. The wavy petals are a beautiful bright pink shaded with carmine. The heart of the flower is bright yellow.
The broad elliptical leaves of the Camellia are dark green on top, paler on the underside. They are evergreen and measure 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) long. The plant can reach a height of 3 m (10 ft) at full bloom. It is very hardy (-10° (14 °F)) and originates from Japan and China.
This bush is suitable everywhere. It is more commonly found in old-style gardens but deserves a place anywhere given its beauty. It can be placed at the back of hydrangea borders, as a lively hedge, as well as on its own in e.g. lawns and terraces. It makes for magnificent ground cover in shaded areas or on steep slopes. Plant it near the house to enjoy its autumn flowers. It can also be grown in a minimum 70 cm (28 in) diameter pot. In colder regions, you can bring it indoors to the veranda during flowering.

Planting and care
Camellia sasanqua likes a fairly shady spot sheltered from cold and drying winds. You can also grow it in full sun, but the roots need to stay cool. Plant it in a cool, humus-bearing, acidic and well-drained soil. Do not plant the bush too deeply, the top of the root ball should be covered with 3 cm (1.2 in) of soil. In winter, cover it with a 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 in) thick mulch composed of leaf compost and crushed bark. Be careful of late frosts that can damage the flowers and buds. During dry periods, water the bush to prevent the dropping of flower buds. Camellia sasanqua can be susceptible to root rot, leaf spots and viruses. It can be attacked by aphids and scale insects that cause sooty mould, as well as by weevils.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
