    Camellias are so nice, they should be coming into bloom here in Florida. Maybe I can ask my friend Will if I can record his camellias which some his grandfather planted back in the 1930's and 1940's.

    I love love love Camellias. My soil is not acid and tried several times to grow them in pots but they do not do well either. I guess I do not give them enough moisture, they also dry too fast in our summer. But north of Portugal they grow wonderfully and we can see huge specimen in gardens planted in the ground.

En México City crecen estupendas al aire libre, tengo una colección personal de aproximadamente 50 y estan fantasticas, gracias al buen clima en esta ciudad, así como suelos ácidos y bien drenados de tipo volcánico.

    • @GardeningatDouentza
      @GardeningatDouentza  3 роки тому +2

      Camellia flowers will go brown with a late frost. They will also go brown if they get early morning sun because they often have dew on their petals at that time and the sun burns them. Camellias like a sheltered position in dappled shade where they are not exposed to morning sun. Hope this helps.

    Really wonderful plants that can be a floriferous precursor to azaleas and Rhododendrons. As you noted they must be sighted correctly and given a moist, rich acid soil. It’s very sad when you see the lovely petals turning brown and mushy prematurely due to incorrect culture, though some years it can be inclement weather that mars their beauty. Personally, I think they make a nice deep green, waxy leaved foliage plant, when not in bloom.
