Camellia Sasanqua 'Elaine Lee'
Bring late-season color to your landscape with the Elaine Lee Camellia, a cold-hardy specimen prized for its pristine white, semi-double flowers that emerge as autumn transitions to winter. This evergreen shrub reaches 5-6 feet tall and 3 feet wide at maturity, maintaining its lustrous semi-gloss foliage throughout the dormant season. When most gardens fade to gray, the Elaine Lee delivers elegant blooms visible from indoors, making it an exceptional choice for adding visual interest during the quieter months of the year.
Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
