Root system of Camellia Sasanqua-invasive?

16 years ago

Our landscape plans suggest planting Camellia Sananqua, low arching variety, and Austrailian Bluebells in the area that we have installed the valves to our sprinkler system. Does anyone know if the roots are likely to be a problem on either of these plants?

Sasanqua roots are unlikely to be invasive, as they have simple root systems. The roots also tend to avoid accumulated water and open air of the valve box.
