Japanese Camellia
Japanese Camellia (Camellia japonica) are wonderful Winter/Spring blooming additions to any landscape. There are a large range of varieties and cultivars that show off different colors and shapes of flowers. Most grow 8'-12' tall and 6'-8' wide and are slow growing. Camellias are best planted in moist, well-drained soil and part shade, as they are not tolerant of direct, hot afternoon sun. They do need an acidic soil as well, so fertilizers and/or soil amendments are recommended. Frequent watering after planting is important for establishment and vigor.
