It is absolutely necessary to avoid planting camellias 
too deep. If the ball is an inch deeper than it was for- 
merly grown, the growth and flowering will be greatly 
retarded. If two inches deeper, it is likely to die. In set- 
ting the plant in the new position the ball should be level 
or slightly higher than it was formerly grown. 
Contrary to popular belief, digging a large hole and 
putting gravel in the bottom may not solve your drain- 
age problem. In heavy soils you might create a lake.
