Be sure to choose an appropriate location for your Camellia.

Planting Time: Plant any time of the year taking care to avoid temperature extremes on either end of the spectrum. 

Sun: Part sun to part shade

Soil: Fertile, acidic, moist, but well drained

Water: When newly planted, water deeply at least twice weekly. Camellias prefer a moist soil, but are drought tolerant once established.

Fertilizer: Use our slow release fertilizer in early spring.

Mulch: Mulching is a great way to keep the roots cool, soil moist, and add nutrients to the soil. We recommend using about 2 inches of mulch covering the entire root zone.

Pruning: Prune after flowering if needed to remove dead and dying branches or correct aesthetic or structural issues
