Cultivation: Camellias dislike lime and grow best in a neutral or acid soil; (pH 7 or below) that is humus-rich, moist and free-draining. They are happiest in a semi -shaded position with a westerly or sheltered northerly aspect. It is important to avoid south or east facing positions because the flowers may be spoilt by the early morning sun following frosty nights. Neither will they tolerate an exposed windy position, nor a soil which tends to become waterlogged in wet weather. The light dappled shade provided by trees and other shrubs is ideal as long as there is sufficient moisture at the roots.

Camellias may be planted at any time of year provided that the ground is not too frosty. Incorporate plenty of peat or leaf mould into the planting area and, when planting against a wall (or fence), ensure that your hole is at least 30cm (12”) away from the wall so that the natural rainfall is available to the plant. This will also prevent too much moisture being sucked out of the root ball by the wall. Taller plants may need staking for the first year or two.
