CAMELLIAS ARE EASY TO GROW in a shady, sheltered 
location, an acid soil with good drainage to which generous 
quantities of leaf mold or peat have been added. They require 
generous amounts of water during the growing season but 
this should never become stagnant for lack of drainage. 
Withhold fertilizer during dormant season when the flowers 
appear. Hardy to 10 degrees. Ask for special camellia and 
azalea plant food.
