Description

One of the nation's favourite early spring plants, Camellias are very straightforward and problem free plants that every garden should have!

Providing fabulous displays of flowers in red, white, and pink when almost every other plant is still asleep for winter, they're ideal for giving a bold splash of colour when the garden is quite drab - plus they're fabulous in pots where they can be moved to any part of your garden.

The key to success with Camellias is they need acidic soils - just like Rhododendrons. This means they can easily be grown in pots in ericaceous composts, and provided they are fed with specialist ericaceous feed, will provide many years of colour and interest.

Camellias are evergreen and their neat, shiny tough leaves will provide a backdrop to other plants all year. Flower buds start swelling late from the previous summer, and keep getting bigger all autumn and winter, until they burst open in early spring. The flowers can be caught by frosts when they are opening, but the buds are generally fine, and the plant is completely hardy and tough.

Supplied as a set of three established plants in 19cm pots, ready to plant, including one of each named colour.

Top Tips

Performs best in partial shade in moist, well-drained soil, protected from early morning sun
Protect from frost which can damage flowers

Care Information

Protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun to prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers
Container-grown plants will need protection in winter.
Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and in June.
After flowering lightly trim any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant, including any that are damaged or dying.
Ensure soil conditions are acidic. When growing in pots, use an ericaceous compost.

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
