Thinking out loud. I'd probably want a pink flowering one in front of my white vinyl fence whereas I'd want a white flowering camellia against my reddish bricked home?
For someone like me with a short attention span, this format is terrific: plenty of info packed into short time frame. It reminds me of the earlier Horttube videos that helped launch me into gardening, and I was hoping to hear “so what are you waiting for? Even you can grow a …” That phrase went a long way toward convincing me to try plants I had never heard of before seeing your videos, and I expect this new channel will do the same.
I will admit when you did video on the Florida sunshine I wondered about this one I could see next to you. Beautiful flower!! Can't believe it bloomed for two months. Beautiful!
Hi Jim, I found this new channel from watching your main channel today. I missed where you announced this new channel. Glad I found it. I am 6a ish in Central IL south of Chicago. Looking forward to watching this new channel. I hope you, Holly and Griffen had a really nice Christmas. Wishing you all the best, healthiest Happy New Year 2022. :)
Thank you Jim! I am playing your whole playlist on your new channel. We live in New Hampshire, so most of these we cannot grow. But very much appreciate your general knowledge and common sense approach to gardening! Cannot enter the contest...but understand your dilemma with view numbers, as I have my own You Tube Channel (non-gardening). God bless you and your garden. 🌺🌸🌻
Jim, love your videos. With regard to sun exposure on C. japonica, it is really helpful if you can avoid early morning winter sun. Direct sun hitting it when the temperature is 10 degrees or so is the sun its leaves hate most. You can see this in March where a C. japonica is out in the open (the original tree shade having been lost to a storm): the leaves will have an unpleasant cast towards yellow.
Fantastic video. ThanQ. 😍 Been obsessed with Camellias for a while. Just ordered a Camellia Japonica Volunteer. 🌸 Can’t wait to get it! Makes me giggle that I killed most house plants. 😳 But am now growing happy 🌹 And LOVING my wee garden! 🪴
I can now see why you have a camellia addiction. LOL. Need to put this on my list for the garden. It is just a pretty flowering plant. Fall flowering is a bonus!
Thanks for the thorough info on Camellias. Having grown up in the Midwest, I have zero experience with Camellias. Zero. Very excited to try my luck. Living in SC, 7b.
I was able to find an Early Wonder at an online big box store - only place I've seen these so far. Mine came with some scale damage but still produced 1 beautiful flower in the fall.
Do the petals fall from this variety as each bloom goes over, or do they stay on? Admit I prefer when the petals fall because then you never get that brown manky look and have to pull them off manually.
I'm considering using a camellia as a hedge. It is good to know that this is a slow growing plant. It's also good to know that it may do better with part shade.
My early wonder is blooming now. This is the only japonica of mine that blooms around this time. The rest blooms in early spring. Can you do one on Japonica Goggy Camellia?
Ah, I have a mystery camellia I put in this fall and I mulched it very well but was away when we got 10°F lows and now all the leaves look dead 😭 I hope it will sprout anew in the spring!
I have a Camellia Japonica that has overgrown its spot as a foundation screen (over 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide) encroaching our driveway. I am in Zone 8A. Can this plant be severely cut back to reform to the space or do I need to just remove it all together?
Have a camellia (the only one on our lot) that has had its buds eaten by squirrels the last two winters. Haven't heard of this before, but the result is just as if they were deer instead - no blooms. Have any suggestions to discourage the squirrels from eating camellia buds? Thanks Jim!
I planted a camellia japonica (ashton high rise) underneath an oak and it's about 60% dead. I'm going to move it. Any recommendations for how to perk it back up after I re-plant it? Should I fertilize it or just move it and leave it alone?
I'm now infected with the Camellia bug, thanks to you! And the Illicium bug, and the Mahonia bug, and all the plants! I want all the plants!!
I love Camellias 🥰
OMG!! I am going to go broke with all these plants -I Quote "Need". LOL
I’m really glad you’re doing this new format! I like learning in detail about different plants. You’re doing a great job!
Thinking out loud. I'd probably want a pink flowering one in front of my white vinyl fence whereas I'd want a white flowering camellia against my reddish bricked home?
Just purchased one today. I love Southern Living plants

Camellias are the main plant I envy living in zone 6b.
Instead of moving it away from under the window, what about espalier on the wall and around the window?
Love this format, more in depth info on individual specimens. Making my list for my new property!
I've never tried to grow a camellia. The flowers are incredible on this one. I think it's time to give it a try!
I see why Camelia’s ate your favorite. What a great looking plant!
I love the information you have provided. Love “deer don’t read the deer resistant lists”.
I will admit when you did video on the Florida sunshine I wondered about this one I could see next to you. Beautiful flower!! Can't believe it bloomed for two months. Beautiful!
I can easily become obsessed with this channel. Then again, I love your other channels too. 🌱
Spectacular camellia. Love the format of this channel so I can easily refer back to a specific plant variety.

Thanks for sharing about camellia japonica, an excellent addition to any garden zone 7-9.

Thank you for doing these videos. Hopefully, it will help me not feel so overwhelmed when I go to a garden center!

This is nice for more in depth information on specific plants! Like a digital nursery card!
Fantastic video. ThanQ. 😍

Can’t wait to get it!
Makes me giggle that I killed most house plants. 😳
But am now growing happy 🌹 And LOVING my wee garden! 🪴
Love the pink of this camellia. I’ve loved seeing all the camellias blooming in the neighborhood and I’ve wanted to add some to our garden.
Love, love, love camellias! My goal is to have something in bloom year round in my landscape.
I don't have this one but it has so many positives, how can one resist? Like your new channel and I always enjoy learning from your videos. Thank you!
I love Camilla’s - they’re sooo beautiful. I’ve decided you can’t have too many- Im hooked. I’ve learned so much from your videos. Thank you !!!
Have the same variety and it blooms for me October to April, I had blooms on her at Easter last year west of Atlanta area, great plant!!🌸
Another very informative video. I'm enjoying your new channel.
I can now see why you have a camellia addiction. LOL. Need to put this on my list for the garden. It is just a pretty flowering plant. Fall flowering is a bonus!
A southern favorite to be sure and ( as a northern gardener transplanted to South Carolina) I agree :)
Thank you for the wonderful information on these beautiful plants
I'm really enjoying your new channel.
I planted 2 japonica camellia and they are very small.. Praying they bloom next year. :-) Hi from Nash county NC
Thanks for the thorough info on Camellias. Having grown up in the Midwest, I have zero experience with Camellias. Zero. Very excited to try my luck. Living in SC, 7b.
Love all the camellias!
Ultimate Southern plant!
Beautiful! I definitely need this in my new garden space.
Loving the new format! Really appreciate you spending the time on the playlist curation as well!!
I’m so excited to plant my first camellia this year!
I was able to find an Early Wonder at an online big box store - only place I've seen these so far. Mine came with some scale damage but still produced 1 beautiful flower in the fall.
I don't have any japonica plants! These are beautiful!
Love these short videos!
Never heard of this one before. I’m new to gardening and have learned so much from you. I want one of these! So beautiful!
Can’t wait to get one of the japonicas! Love learning from you. In your same zone!
Love your new channel.
Absolutely stunning Jim 🥰 I need to add one of these to my garden 🤗
Love these. I was able to get quite a few from Pat McCracken's Garden Treasures. :)
so pretty! i'd love to add this to my foundation 🌺
Just planted 4 of these! Love the color and the huge double blooms
Love this plant! Huge blooms on a small plant when I put them in!
Do the petals fall from this variety as each bloom goes over, or do they stay on? Admit I prefer when the petals fall because then you never get that brown manky look and have to pull them off manually.
Lovely!!🌸🌸🌸
Beautiful
Love the shorter videos! I need to try camellias again. My golden retriever chewed the 2 I had to the ground!
Ohhh noooo

Love camellias. Looking for a zone 6 variety that I can use as a screening plant.
Do you have any videos on full day sun plants or shrubs and trees? I live in Oklahoma and we get a lot of sun and heat all day.
Funny you said not in front of a window, I have mine in front of my bedroom window, yes need to move it but haven’t yet.
I may need to move so I can grow camellias!
A great one
When is the best time to find these in garden centers? I seem to have missed out this year.
Deer may not enthusiastically graze the camelia leaves but they will go Golden Corral on the flower buds
Camellia is not hardy in 6, what could I use that would give me that same appeal? Getting ready to move to 2 bare acres & need so many plants.😊
Anything you would recommend that would be similar for Zone 6b?
Now we need a Late Wonder Camellia sasanqua to get that sun tolerance but with later blooming.
Why don't we see them growing well in Texas zone 8? Is it heat sensitive? Intolerant to alkaline soils?
Ah, I have a mystery camellia I put in this fall and I mulched it very well but was away when we got 10°F lows and now all the leaves look dead 😭 I hope it will sprout anew in the spring!
😓😭
Is this a reblooming variety?
I have a Camellia Japonica that has overgrown its spot as a foundation screen (over 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide) encroaching our driveway. I am in Zone 8A. Can this plant be severely cut back to reform to the space or do I need to just remove it all together?

Another camellia on my want list
I had one and after this last winter, it’s dead!! So sad.
Just bought my first Camellia Japonica! Picked it up at our local garden center. It’s called “In the pink”. Are you familiar with this variety?
