On the occasion of its 60th anniversary, the International Camellia Society (ICS) has dedicated a book to the autumn-flowering camellias (C. sasanquas).
A team of experts from China, France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain and the USA led by Dr. Takayuki Tanaka (Professor Emeritus, Tokai University Japan) and Prof. Gianmario Motta (President of the ICS) have portrayed and described in detail 270 Sasanqua varieties.
A great iconography of the Sasanquas and their hybrids, which show their diverse flowers from October to March and not only thrive in countries like Germany due to their hardiness, but are also not affected by blossom rot.
Taking into account the latest research results, Prof. Tanaka devotes a chapter to the origin and classification of sasanquas and in another describes the history of their cultivation. Last but not least, the experts report on the introduction of sasanquas to the Western world.
Take the opportunity to get to know the sasanquas, a great ornamental plant for gardens and balconies, through this excellent iconographic book.
The book was published in multiple languages in English, Japanese and Chinese and consists of 169 pages. It has now been published in its second edition, which is why the price has been reduced slightly.
The proceeds from book sales serve as a donation to the ICS.

How we ship
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.
