Seasonal Interest & Flowering Display

Camellias are best known for their spectacular late winter and spring flowers, when few other plants are in bloom. Depending on the variety, flowering can begin as early as December (Camellia Yuletide) and continue into April (Camellia Brushfield Yellow). Even when not flowering, their glossy evergreen foliage adds year-round structure and elegance to gardens, patios, and doorways.

How to Plant & Care for Camellias

Camellias are timeless evergreen shrubs known for their glossy leaves and stunning blooms. To help them thrive in your garden or containers, follow these simple planting and care tips:

  • Soil: Camellias prefer slightly acidic, well-drained soil; use ericaceous compost if planting in pots or alkaline gardens.
  • Position: Place in partial shade or dappled light; avoid strong midday sun and cold winds.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells; mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots.
  • Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage next year’s buds.
  • Planting Time: Best planted in autumn or early spring, when the soil is workable and roots can settle before extremes of weather.
