Camellia japonicas are slow to moderate growers. Habits vary from compact and upright to loose and spreading. Plant in a well drained organic soil (Acid Planting Mix). Filtered or bright shade all day is the best exposure, early a.m. sun before 10 or late day sun after 5:00 p.m.would also be okay. Protect from heat of the day. Feed monthly September through March with Master Bloom and monthly April through August with Master's Azalea, Camellia, Gardenia Acid Food. Quarterly applications of Iron will keep your leaves bright green.
We Also have a nice collection of Sasanqua Camelias in glorious bloom. Sasanquas typically bloom earlier than the Japonicas and they look great right now.
