DESCRIPTION

The Camellia is so well-loved due to the ability to withstand the cold of winter, their leathery evergreen leaves,  and many bloom varieties that showcase blooms from fall to spring. They are best planted in rich, moist soil in a part-shade location. They do not like to compete for water and nutrients with trees in close proximity. They should be planted at a relatively shallow depth, with the top of the crown slightly exposed. Know the mature size of your camellia, and plan accordingly if planting close to a window or home foundation. 

Uneven watering can cause buds to drop prematurely. Water evenly to keep the soil moist but never soggy and be sure the soil drains well. Too much shade may be the cause when camellias won’t bloom. Ideally, camellias should be planted where they receive morning sunlight and afternoon shade or filtered sunlight throughout the day.

Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.
