Notes from the plant tag:

White, double blooms with outer rows of blush petals.  The flowers are borne early in the season on an upright, vigorous plant.

DESCRIPTION:  An evergreen shrub to approximately 3 m with small, dense, bright green foliage.  Abundant, showy flowers are produced in autumn and early winter.  Ideal for screens, hedging, large containers and espaliers.

POSITION:  Sunny or partly shaded position.  Sasanquas tolerate more sun than japonica camellias.

SOIL:  Well drained, slightly acidic soil.  Before planting combine soil with organic matter for best results.

CARE:  Keep moist especially in hot, dry weather.  Mulch with compost, leaf mould or other organic matter to keep roots cool.  Do not allow mulch to touch the trunk.  May be lightly trimmed to shape in spring.  Feed in spring with a camellia fertiliser or a complete organic fertiliser.  Avoid lime.
