It is a commonly held myth that Camellias need acidic soil to grow, in fact they need\u00a0neutral to slightly acid soil, so somewhere in the middle of the pH range &#8211; around 5.5 &#8211; 6.5 is perfect. Soil that is either too acidic or too alkali will prevent the plant from growing optimally.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3105\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/camellias.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3105\" class=\"wp-image-3105 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/camellia-ball-buds.jpg\" alt=\"Planting Camellias - expert advice\" width=\"700\" height=\"590\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3105\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camellia Tree in full bud | Essential to keep Camellias well watered and fed during this period<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nPlanting Camellias<\/strong><br \/>\nOf course not every garden naturally possesses these exact conditions, but with the help of modern growing techniques, it is with very little effort that the perfect conditions for growing.<br \/>\nCamellias can be re-created in your\u00a0very own garden or patio\u00a0as\u00a0Camellias will quite happily live in a container environment.<br \/>\nThe first thing to decide is the best position for the plant &#8211; a sheltered spot near to a wall where the plant will be protected from cold winds is ideal. Camellias should never been grown against an East facing wall &#8211; the hot sun on a frosty morning will damage the plant.<br \/>\n<strong><em>Note: Camellias\u00a0don&#8217;t like cold winds or extremely cold temperatures<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re planting camellias directly into the ground, remove the shrub from its pot and soak the roots in a bucket of water before you start, make sure you dig a hole at least twice the size of the plant&#8217;s rootball. Camellias need good drainage &#8211; they like to be moist but hate to have their feet in water constantly, put plenty of course grit and organic mulch in the bottom of the hole and once you plant the shrub fill in around the outside with Ericaceous soil. Give the shrub a feed of Camellia liquid feed once a month through the growing season.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re planting camellias in a pot &#8211; please make sure there is plenty of drainage &#8211; firstly holes in the bottom covered with crocks so they don&#8217;t get blocked and plenty of drainage grit at the base, mix water retention pellets\u00a0in with the Ericaceous soil and a handful of slow release fertiliser suitable for Camellias. Finish off with a layer of grit to help retain moisture in the container. Make sure you\u00a0keep container-grown Camellias well watered but don&#8217;t waterlog them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3106\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/camellias.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3106\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/camellia-buds-2015.jpg\" alt=\"Camellia Buds | Ensure Camellias are well fed during flowering time buy online UK\" width=\"700\" height=\"497\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camellia Buds | Ensure Camellias are well fed during flowering time<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nSpecial Times of the Year:<\/strong><br \/>\nMake sure your Camellia has plenty of\u00a0water throughout the growing season &#8211; April to October &#8211; they should never be allowed to dry out.<br \/>\nTake special care that at the end of the summer and autumn <a title=\"camellias for sale online\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/camellias.html\">Camellias<\/a> need to be well fed and watered &#8211; they are laying down the foundation for their spectacular display in Spring.<br \/>\nComing up to and during flowering in the Spring, the plant is under enormous pressure &#8211; feeding and watering is very important at this time to avoid the plant becoming stressed &#8211; give a weekly feed of Camellia liquid feed around this time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3041\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/camjapnuccjewel\/camellia-japonica-nuccios-jewel.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3041\" class=\"wp-image-3041\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Camellia-Japonica-Nuccios-Jewel.jpg\" alt=\"Camellia Japonica Nuccios Jewel\" width=\"700\" height=\"618\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camellia Japonica Nuccios Jewel<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nPruning<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce the flowering period has passed you can trim the shrub in to shape and dead head any remaining dead flowers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The team at Paramount Plants have years of experience in growing Camellias.<\/strong><br \/>\nOur huge selection includes mature and often rare examples of tree Camellias and full standard trees, large bushes suitable for using Camellias for hedging and a beautiful range of smaller Camellia shrubs &#8211; so there&#8217;s something for everyone&#8217;s taste\u00a0and budget.<br \/>\nThinking of buying a Camellia?<br \/>\n<strong>Plant Phone Line\u00a0020 8367 8809 8AM-8PM\u00a0<\/strong>or email us at <a href=\"mailto:salesteam@paramountplants.co.uk\">salesteam@paramountplants.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Paramount Plants &amp; Gardens Ltd<br \/>\n131 Theobalds Park Road<br \/>\nCrews Hill<br \/>\nEnfield<br \/>\nLondon EN2 9BH<br \/>\nTel: +44 (0)20 8367 8809<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"camellias to buy online\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/camellias.html\">Buy Camellias Online<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/best-time-to-plant-camellias-in-the-uk\/\">Best Time to Plant Camellais in the UK<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"camellia japonica buy online\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/camellia-japonica\/\">Spotlight on Camellia Japonica<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Camellias are beautiful Spring Flowering or sometimes\u00a0winter flowering shrubs.
