She features an abundance of large, 4 inch diameter formal double to rose form blush-pink flowers with a whopping 60 petals that are a glowing white at the center of the flower and delicately \"airbrushed\" orchid-pink around the edges. A dense grower deep green glossy leaves that are the perfect background to display the magnificent flowers in all their glory. A must for Camellia enthusiasts! To enjoy the flowers indoors display several cuttings in vase or float just one in a bowl of water.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHistory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Camellia was introduced in 1968 and named after Ella Ward Parsons, wife of the president of the American Camellia Society.

As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As your camellia plant grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a small tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine selection for camellia gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFind Your Zone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  4 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCamellia adapt well to various soil types preferring a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy or wet soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect.
