Camellia Jean May

Camellia Jean May Details

Camellia sasanqua Jean May is renowned for its double, soft pink flowers. The flowers are mildly fragrant and produced through spring and autumn. The mid-green foliage is semi-glossy and complements the flowers perfectly. It typically grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, and performs best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is tolerant of cool and humid climates as well as moderate frost once established. Camellia Jean May is commonly grown as specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is also well suited to being maintained in a container. For hedging space plants 50 cm apart.
