Water
Keep evenly moist the first year; water in late-summer dry spells when buds are forming.
Planting and soil
Spring or early fall, slightly high, in acidic, organic soil. In zone 6 choose a sheltered spot near a wall.
Feeding
Acid fertilizer once in spring.
Pruning
Shape in late winter once flowering ends.
Through the year
Blooms mid-fall into winter. Burgundy new growth in spring. Evergreen all year.
If something's off
Yellow leaves with green veins mean alkaline soil. Hard freezes can brown open flowers; buds keep coming.
Why we stock it: It brings camellia flowers a zone further north and fills the months when nothing else blooms.
