Camellia

Product Information

Position: partial shade (but not east-facing)Soil: moist but well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil (or ericaceous compost for container-grown specimens)Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: March and April Flower colour: white with a pale yellow centreOther features: glossy, bright green leavesHardiness: fully hardyThe name is slightly deceptive as the larger, outer petals that form are white.

They do however have a ruff of pale yellow petals at the centre of each flower that give it a lemon hue.

The glossy, bright, evergreen leaves really set the beautiful flowers off a treat.

If happy these plants will produce literally masses of flowers that fall from the plant when they are done and create a beautiful carpet around its base.

Avoid planting in a spot that gets morning sun though as this may cause the flowers to turn brown before their time.Garden care: To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun.

Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop.

Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June.

Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould.

After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.

Protect container-grown specimens in winter by wrapping with bubble wrap or hessian.
