Our experience using these in the Auckland region:rnVery reliable favourite - not my personal favourite as the white flowers have too much yellow centre for my liking - I prefer the formal looking Camellia ‘Early Pearly’; or less formal slower growing Camellia 'Moonlight' myself, as these two have pure white flowers. However, Setsugeka is good if you need one with a bit more vigour and higher final height, and you like the ‘Poached Egg’ flower look.
