Camellias - An Autumn Must-Have

13 Mar, 2024

Stunning as a lush hedge, or a feature plant, camellias are an autumn garden must-have.

Most camellias grow well in a partly shaded spot, in dappled shade under trees, or on the southwest side of your home. They can handle a little sun, especially the sasanqua varieties, just be sure to protect them from strong rays and harsh winds.

Camellias perform the best in the ground when planted with well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Add nutrients by mixing in Kings Compost, Kings Sheep Pellets and Kings Azalea, Camellia and Rhododendron Food at planting time.
