While Camellia sasanqua varieties like Jennifer Susan are cultivated and not naturally found, Camellias are native to Japan and China, found mostly in forested areas and mountain slopes. | |
Leaf information: | Glossy, dark green leaves |
Preferred Soil: | Prefers acidic, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot. |
Highly valued for bringing beauty and vitality to the garden during autumn and winter, with profuse, delicate pink flowers that support pollinators when few other food sources are available.
Care Considerations: | Prefers a spot with light shade and protected from the hot afternoon sun. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, is crucial for young plants, with established plants still appreciate the occasional deep watering. A mulch layer is highly recommended to retain soil moisture and keep roots cool. A prune and addition of a slow-release, acid-formulating fertiliser after flowering can encourage healthy growth, maintain shape and encourage flowering for the following season. |
