CARE OF CAMELLIAS 
Camellias are easy to grow in a shaded 
sheltered location. They need good 
drainage and a soil containing gener- 
ous amounts of leaf mold or peat. 
Water generously during the growing 
season and reduce water and do not 
fertilize during the flowering season. 
They are very hardy plants and can be 
used in ornamental tubs or pots. We 
recommend feeding with a fertilizer 
designed for camellias.
