Camellias

Exotic Elegance

Camellias have attractive glossy green foliage and exotic flowers and are among the elite of evergreen shrubs. In northern England they’ll flower during late winter and early spring when grown outside or several weeks earlier, depending on the cultivar, when grown in a container under glass. Large plants often carry hundreds of flowers. Camellias require a moist but well-drained, LIME-FREE soil or compost and are best when grown in light shade. Protect from cold winds and early morning sun. Frosted flowers and buds caught by early morning sun can be disfigured due to bursting cells. Camellias; A Care & Cultivation Guide
