Camellias are a tough and hardy breed of plants.
 
Camellia sasanqua, whilst not as well known as their japonica cousins, are gaining popularity worldwide for their vigor versatility and ease of growth.
 
Australia is a world leader in the breeding and development of Camellias sasanqua and plants are being successfully grown throughout Australia from the south east Queensland all along the east coast through to Melbourne, Tasmania in the south and in Adelaide and Perth further west.
 
Sasanquas have also been tried and tested in Canberra, the Southern Highlands of NSW and in the populated regions west of the Great Dividing Range.
