Product description
Camellia Onetia Holland is a vigorous and upright growing, compact evergreen shrub with large rose shaped white flowers that bloom in late winters. When the buds from other shrubs in winters will lay dormant and lifeless, Camellia will add a pinch of life into your garden.
Their mid-green glossy leaves add a beautiful dark contrast to the bright flowers and to their prominent yellow stamens. These flowers bloom in late winter month of Jan - Feb, bringing an early blossom to the gardens. Camellia Onetia Holland are ideally planted along wall-side borders or patio and are also suitable for container pots.
Their prolific white petals will thrive in filtered shade at a sheltered spot away from cold winds. They prefer to grow in acidic fertile soil that is well-drained. Camellia plants develop strong tolerance to overnight temperatures.
Add mulch to the base of the plant made of composted bark mixture for the roots to retain moisture.
Pruning Camellia is not necessarily required, but make sure to protect them from early sun as the late frost may damage the flowers.
Camellia plants are native to Japan. They bloom royal white flowers that will make your cottage garden look grand and majestic.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Protect Camellias from harsh afternoon sun and frost by planting in sheltered spots. Add mulch annually to retain soil acidity and moisture.
How to Water
Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use rainwater if possible, as Camellias prefer slightly acidic water. Avoid wetting the leaves to reduce disease risk.
How to Plant
Choose a partially shaded spot with acidic, well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball but no deeper than its height. Position the plant with the root crown above soil level. Backfill, firm gently, and water well. Mulch to maintain moisture and suppress weeds.
