Like one star above another star, the aptly named, magnificent, star-shaped flowers lie on top of each other and appear in a very pale rose tone that fades into white towards the center of the flower.

The foliage is dark green and elongated and forms an attractive contrast to the flowers. The growth is strong, bushy and upright.

Star above Star blooms profusely and reliably from November to February/March, and is a beautiful eye-catcher in the garden due to its special flower shape. For this she was awarded the “Ralph Peer Sasanqua Seedling Award” in 1969.

Typical of the autumn-flowering Camellia sasanquas, which also tolerate more sun than the Camellia japonicas, is their very good winter hardiness.

Quality testing

Each camellia is carefully checked before shipping and, in addition to the plant passport, receives a weatherproof aluminum variety label.

No drying out

Each plant is watered thoroughly before shipping. The plant pot is then covered with a plastic bag to prevent the root ball from drying out.

Protectively packaged

The camellia is then carefully wrapped in newspaper or wrapping paper so that the leaves, buds and flowers are well protected.

No slipping

The camellia is fixed in the cardboard box so that it cannot slip.

Shatterproof cardboard boxes

Our camellias are shipped in specially made, sturdy cardboard boxes and can therefore arrive to you intact and in excellent condition.

Safe in the truck

We ship particularly large camellias via a shipping company. Here too, the plants are excellently packaged.

Freight forwarding delivery

For very large camellias with a height of 1.50 to 2.30 meters, shipping is carried out by a shipping company. The very well packaged camellia is transported standing on a Euro pallet. The delivery time within Germany is 2-3 days; within Europe up to 1 week. The transport costs are calculated individually depending on where you live. Please contact us by phone or email before ordering.

About Us

I bought my first camellia over 20 years ago. At that time I had my office next to the Palmengarten in Frankfurt and regularly visited the various plant exhibitions. This also applies to the camellia exhibition in February. I was enchanted by the blaze of color, the wonderful flower shapes and the elegant habit of the camellias and couldn't decide which of the many I should take home with me. It was difficult to choose the most beautiful camellia from such a variety. For me it became Jury's Yellow, which accompanied me for many years and even endured on our roof terrace during the particularly hot summer of 2003.
