Camellia japonica 'Lester M. Allen’

Pink Flowering Camellia 

Zones 6b-9

Part Shade

The Camellia 'Lester M. Allen' is an elegant hybrid admired for its large, semi-double blooms, which open in soft pink and gradually fade to a creamy white. Blooming from winter into early spring, it brings vibrant color to the garden when few other plants are in flower. Its rich green, glossy foliage creates a stunning backdrop, allowing the blooms to stand out. Highly adaptable, this variety works beautifully as a specimen plant, hedge, or container plant. Developed by American camellia breeder Lester M. Allen, this plant embodies his commitment to creating resilient and stunning camellias. Over 10 years, 'Lester M. Allen' typically reaches a height of 4-5 ft and a width of 3-4 ft.
