These Large Camellias are now at the end of their season but they are still fantastic plants. As they have finished flowering we have reduced them in our end of season sale so snap them up before they go! They we budding up again ready for the autumn/winter. This week, we have Silver Anniversary camellias available.
These lovely large garden shrubs will flower in succession for several weeks. Keep them in a pot on a patio or plant them in the garden for late winter/ early spring flowers and glossy green foliage all year round.
A bit of sunshine this week has really brought on the blooms this week so we've reduced the price of these gorgeous plants to clear whilst they are still in flower.
Good to know: The golden anniversary camellias are looking by the far the best this week with plenty of buds and blooms to come. The Ruby Anniversary do still have the odd bud and bloom but the Silver Anniversary camellias have now finished flowering so really only make great gifts for gardeners who will look forward to the blooms next year.

Camellias (camellia japonica) are outdoor plants, and will bloom every winter through snow and frost. Originally from the far east, Camellias have thrived in the UK for hundreds of years and make a stunning addition to any garden for winter colour year after year.
Keep your Camellia well watered whilst in a pot, the compost should feel wet to touch. However, do not let your Camellia stand in water as this will rot the root system. It will like to be regularly watered but allow the excess water to drain away. If your plant arrives in a decorative pot without drainage holes, make sure you remove the plant to water it, allowing excess to drain away before returning it to the pot.
After flowering your Camellia plant can be re-potted in a larger pot with ericaceous 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 frost.
Problem Solving:
If your plant seems to be suffering try keeping it a bit closer to your home, the brick wall’s residual heat will keep young plants just above freezing, or inside a greenhouse.
