GROWING – Camellias prefer partial or dappled shade in particular morning sun or afternoon shade. They can tolerate more sun as they mature. Avoid growing camellias in South or East facing positions, as the early morning sun can damage the flowers. Camellias should be planted in a sheltered location in acid soil away from cold winds. Exposed, windy positions can damage the leaves and flowers.
ONGOING CARE – Camellias like ample moisture and should be watered with rainwater to maintain the compost’s acidic pH. The soil should be kept moist but not saturated. Insufficient moisture can lead to premature or excessive bud drop. Keep well watered through the Summer, as this is when the plants produce next year’s flower buds.
