Camellia sasanqua 'Jean May'
Jean May can easily be used for espalier and tub planting. Note: It should be placed sited in a partially shaded area because its Shell-pink Double-blooms tend to fade in the sun.
Dark-green foliage makes this upright, spreading, broadleaf evergreen a great specimen plant.
