Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant camellias in a location with partial shade to filtered sunlight. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal to protect the flowers from intense sunlight.
- Planting:Dig a hole that’s as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Place the camellia in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
- Spacing:Space camellias according to their mature size, typically about 3 to 10 feet apart, depending on the variety.
- Care:Water newly planted camellias regularly until established. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to shape the plant and remove dead or weak branches.
