Know before you buy
This shrub thrives in zones 7-9 and prefers a location with partial shade to full sun. It performs best in well-draining, slightly acidic soil.
While the plant arrives in a 1-gallon container, Camellia Sasanqua varieties typically reach a mature height of 8 to 10 feet with a spread of 6 to 8 feet, depending on pruning and environmental conditions.
The Leslie Ann has a naturally upright and graceful habit, making it relatively low-maintenance. You can lightly prune it after the flowering season ends to encourage a denser shape for hedges or screens.
No, the Leslie Ann is specifically valued for its fall to winter bloom time. You can expect semi-double white and pink flowers during the cooler months when many other garden plants are dormant.
Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant, which makes it a practical choice for landscapes where deer pressure is a concern. However, no plant is entirely deer-proof, especially if food sources are scarce.
