Care Guide
Excellent pest and disease resistance
Camellias can be at risk from petal blight - to avoid this, clear up any fallen flower heads as soon as possible.MORE
Water regularly
Camellias like plenty of water - use rain water if possible as they prefer it.
Full Sun to Partial Shade
Position where the plant will receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight everyday during summer and spring. This variety can handle some partial shade where it receives its light as dappled shade.
Well drained, slightly acidic soil
Camellias prefer a slightly acidic soil. Any type of soil except chalk is fine as long as it is well drained.
Feed lightly
Feed in the growing season with an acidic plant food. ?v=1613300718
