Awesome information. I have a mature Camelia (state flower for Alabama) and I’ve never known how to prune it. I’ve cut off buds many times and then complained that it never blooms. My fault! Now I know! 👍
Well, that just pushed me over the edge. I have been thinking about getting one for fall and winter interest in a flower bed. Now I definitely am. Thanks for the video!
So refreshing to be able to enjoy some winter colours and fragrance beside the aroma a beautiful pine. Great tutorial Jenny thanks you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your gorgeous family 🦃🥧🥕🥦🍠❤
That’s what I see blooming as I drive by older homes...t y for this vid...I was wondering about this type...of bush...I have been briefly educated! T y!
Talk about perfect timing! I *just* bought a Diana Camellia yesterday, and I’m watching your video early Sunday morning. I love that you garden in the same zone as me. ❤️
Wish we could grow camellias here, but in Zone 5 in Ontario, Canada, that's not going to happen. BTW, I spotted that flash cameo of the cup of tea in Jenny's hand! LOL! Great info at the end.
Hi I just like to say a very good video fantastic I love camellias and I have 7 but I sadly lost one thank you for showing the video with us and Be safe you and your family Thank you😍😍❤❤
I have a silly question. Why do most nurseries carry lg proven winners plants? I have so much better luck here in zone 5 buying a gal. Size. I bought 5 limelights and 1 3 gal the 1 &2 gallons were much bigger in the fall and were like $30 cheaper. I drive 45 min to a nursery that only carries the smaller size. Does proven winners make you get the larger ones? Thank you and I love your videos because you show good and bad of gardening not just the good you are also not afraid to get dirty. So many youtubers are prissy pants and don't show reality😊. Thank you for all you do.
The key to transplanting camellias and shrubs in general is to get as much root system as you possibly can. You can certainly try to move them and this is the perfect time to do it.
We are coming into July now and assuming it will flower in august as new buds coming (Australia). Is it ok to give it a drink of weak coffee? I also added iron to the soil as we get a lot of rainfall here. I heard that helps as the nutrients can get washed away.
This was really helpful and now I understand why I only have blooms at the bottom. So, should I let my camellia hedge grow out of its shape over the winter? Tell the landscapers not to trim it? TIA
I am going to pick up 5 pots of camellia next week from a seller. I live in Maryland zone 7a. Should I plant them right away since I have heard people say because the room temperature is high and inside the house is very dry because of the heat, some camellia died. Please let me know what soil do I need to buy from Homed Depot. Thanks
I've seen videos of people cut back camellias, Can I keep it as a small tree? Also, are they rejuvenation plants; meaning Can I cut them back to the ground? Or will it die? Please someone let me know
I live in east providence Rhode island I bring my potted camellia in for the winter and i take back outside for early spring to late fall i I getting new leaves but no blooms
Lovely video! I found you guys after Laura at Garden Answer shared your channel with us all. Quick question, are the Camellias you grow in the South the same as the ones we have in the UK? You mentioned they’re not frost hardy but it can get quite cold here and I have some very old camellia japonicas in our garden. Just curious! 🌸🌺🥰
Hello, im new to your channel so i have a japonica csmelia in a vontsiner indoors my question is does it haveto be in a very sunny winfow or can it be away from the window
Nice video I live in zone 6 so I don't think I will be planting those but they are beautiful! Do you leave all of your plants out through the winter season?
Did you get a freeze recently? If so, it would have fried them. As long as you have new buds it will rebloom this season. The cold temps only zap the current flowers.
@@GardeningwithCreekside a little bit of a cold spell but it turned yellow before this really. I’ve used the soil I was told to use. Even the buds are yellow 🤷♀️😢
My camellia is dying on me . The leaves are turning brown and dry , falling off . I think because the heat was too much the past couple of days . Is there anyway I can still get my tree grow back ?? Thank you !
I bought 3 October Magic “Snow”Camilias (susanqua) in September. I’m Zone 9 in Florida. They have buds on them, but I have yet to see one bloom. I’m getting worried that I am doing something wrong. Everyone else’s camellias have bloomed. 😅
I bet it's nothing you did. More than likely the camellias were trimmed at the wrong time and all of their blooms were cut off. Just keep loving on them and they will bloom next Fall.
Camilla....101! 👍👏🤚 Beautiful flowering plants in tropical areas where I grew up...haven’t seen these in a while....stunning flowering all autumn! ❤️
My husband and I ,were just talking last week about one. Perfect timing! Thanks for the information!
You are so welcome!

Cool! Now I know I have a japonica! ty
Fantastic!
I'm really enjoying your channel. We moved down south and are looking for plants for our home.
Wonderful!
The tea cup in the editing was amazing 😂
Christine does a FANTASTIC job editing the videos! We couldn't do this without her!!!
I love camellias 🌸🌸
I love Camellias. I had a beautiful camellia tree, but it died a couple years ago due to severe heat and fires in California.
Oh I'm so sorry. I just can't imagine...

Thank you so much Jenny I love camellias I am hoping to propagate the one we have so if you want to do any tips on propagating I would appreciate it
Do three to six year old camilias transplant okay? What is the best time of year to transplant? Thank you! Gteat video.

Camillias are so beautiful 😍
They sure are!
This was really helpful and now I understand why I only have blooms at the bottom. So, should I let my camellia hedge grow out of its shape over the winter? Tell the landscapers not to trim it? TIA
Jenny, when is the best time to fertilize? I love when you give us the Plant 101 videos. Thank you.
Sorry I left that out! Great question!!! Early Spring is the best time to fertilize them with an acid loving fertilizer like Holly-tone
@@GardeningwithCreekside what about using Camellia Focus for fertilizer? Is Holly-tone better?
What about giving them a drink of coffee?
I have a Camellia in a pot, is now a good time to plant in my garden or should I wait after she blooms? Thanks for this great video!
Go ahead and plant it now
Hello
Recenty bought 1-1/2 ' tall. Zone 7B NM . Should I deadhead my camilla plant when the blooms get beyond prime ?
Fantastically informative! Thanks so much, Jenny. Especially love the charts. Ours are just budding in Houston!
Happy Thanksgiving! 💗 Linda in Houston
You are so welcome!

I want to grow camellia sassanquas in a container in zone 7. I need a recommendation for a plant I can to no more than 3'. Thank you for any help.
My neighbor has one as tall as her house. It’s a giant bush. It has big double pink blooms.
They are stunning plants!

I wonder if these flowers can be dried for Christmas arrangements!!?
Hello, im new to your channel so i have a japonica csmelia in a vontsiner indoors my question is does it haveto be in a very sunny winfow or can it be away from the window
I would say that it needs bright light, not necessarily direct sun. Hopefully that makes sense 😉
I have a japonica camilla but I cant get it to bloom any flowers please help
Oh how I wish I could grow these beauties but alas I am in a zone 5 😢.
I grow them in pot, and them move to my sunroom at winter, I'm also in zone 5
Nice video I live in zone 6 so I don't think I will be planting those but they are beautiful! Do you leave all of your plants out through the winter season?
Yes we do
Hi Marilyn I am in zone 6b and I they do just fine up here.
We want to ge japonika camelia flower, how to do that.
Can cameilas survive in a pot? I live in a colder environment but I want one
It would have to be a large pot & a smaller camellia, but I don't see why not!
How tall do they grow??🙂
The white flowers on my Camilia have turned brown. What am I doing wrong?
Did you get a freeze recently? If so, it would have fried them. As long as you have new buds it will rebloom this season. The cold temps only zap the current flowers.
@@GardeningwithCreekside a little bit of a cold spell but it turned yellow before this really. I’ve used the soil I was told to use. Even the buds are yellow 🤷♀️😢
Tropical ..ou sombra .
Any camellia that stays under 2 feet?
Not that I know of. Southern Living's new White Shi Shi is the smallest I know of, and it will be around the 3' mark.
My camellia is dying on me . The leaves are turning brown and dry , falling off . I think because the heat was too much the past couple of days . Is there anyway I can still get my tree grow back ?? Thank you !
Look at your soil. Get your soul tested. It should come back.
I bought 3 October Magic “Snow”Camilias (susanqua) in September. I’m Zone 9 in Florida. They have buds on them, but I have yet to see one bloom. I’m getting worried that I am doing something wrong. Everyone else’s camellias have bloomed. 😅
