Description
‘Leslie Ann’ is a delicate beauty with white flowers tipped with pink picotee edges with a glow of yellow at the centres. The flowers are large from 4-5 inches wide. Plants grow 6-8 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide. Camellia sasanqua bloom from fall through the winter into early spring with fragrant flowers. In Japan their leaves are used for tea and the seeds for tea seed oil. Camellias appreciate rich, acidic, moist, well-draining soils. Use in the light shady garden as an accent or specimen plant or in containers and as cut flowers. Somewhat deer resistant. Plant in a protected location in zone 7.
