Most camellia varieties grow 8′-10′ tall and 8′-10′ wide, and are slow growing. Camellias are best planted in moist, well-drained soil and part shade, as they are not tolerant of the direct Florida afternoon sun. They do need an acidic soil as well, so fertilizers and/or soil amendments are recommended. Frequent watering after planting is important for establishment and vigor. Blooms in Winter or early Spring.
