Camellia

Camellias produce beautiful rose-like flowers through the winter and spring and make a great gift for a gardener. Young plants will look fantastic indoors or out in their first winter and then can be planted outside or placed on a patio in Spring ready for a repeat performance year in year out.

Additional Information about this plant...
Camellia
Camellia Japonica
Also known as Common Camellia or Japanese Camellia
Winter flowers in shades of white, pink or red
Camellias are easy to grow inside in a cool room or outside and they can grow into sizeable bushes. They prefer acid soil and preferably a site where frost will not spoil the winter flowers.
Some Japanese camellias, around the emperor's palace in Japan, are known to be more than 500 years old. Camellias were imported to the UK from asia in the last century and were very popular with the Victorians.
Season: Jan to Mar

How to Look After our Plants
Looking after your Camellia
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
Camellias are really outdoor plants, but when they are young they make decorative pot plants in a cool room, producing beautiful rose like flowers in the winter and early spring.
While your Camellia is indoors, keep it as cool as you can and make sure there is plenty of natural light but not direct sunlight. An East or West facing window is ideal.
After flowering your Camellia plant can be repotted in a larger pot with suitable compost, and put outside on a patio or balcony or planted out into the ground. Camellias like acid soil, so choose compost suitable for rhododendrons and heathers and other acid-loving plants. When planting Camellias in the garden, choose a sheltered part-shaded position where you can see the winter flowers. Try to avoid a situation where the early morning sun shines on frosted plants because this can spoil the flowers. Over time Camellias can grow into quite substantial specimens several feet high. In china, where these plants originate they have even been known to reach 15ft and 500 years old. Older plants are very hardy but young plants should be protected from severe frost.
If your camellia plant seems to be suffering indoors and prone to leaf drop, try putting it outside for a few hours in the day.
