Now in Stock: Over 250 Camellias (20 different Varieties)

Camellias have beguiled southern landscapes for over 100 years!

They can generally withstand winter temperatures as low as 10 degrees; they can be grown anywhere if you protect them and keep the roots from freezing. Camellias are shallow rooted, like the shade, and do the best in loose, fertile soil that is slightly acid. They do not like poor drainage. Fall is usually the best time for planting camellias. Select a planting site that provides alternate sunshine and shade in summer, some shade in winter, and protection from winter winds. Planting under a tall pine tree or on the north side of a building can provide these conditions.
