Growing at a glance…
Camellia particularly dislike being exposed to windy conditions or water logged areas. Pruning of camellias is not always necessary but can be sniped back annually if necessary, after flowering has finished. You must water regularly during hot summers/dry period.Can be planted in fertile, moist and humus rich soil. Do not make the mistake of planting too deep, so make sure the top of the roots are level with the soil.
