CAMELLIAS

Camellias are hardy, versatile plants which can be used in a variety of locations to enhance your garden. They can be used as hedges for partitioning garden rooms, screening along walls to provide the perception of an ongoing garden vista, or as accents. The variety of shades and flower types means that you can find a suitable camellia for any application. They prefer some afternoon shade, but most will tolerate sun if watered well. Feeding with camellia food after flowering will improve growth and appearance. They also prefer an acidic soil, so you may find that it is necessary to decrease the pH in some areas.

Japonica, Sasanqua and Hybrid varieties are available in pots. We have a range of colours with double or single flowers. A 'Yuletide' hedge in the photo above is a stunning backdrop to the flat growing Kashima Maple.
