Planting & Care

When planting your Pink Perfection Camellia starter plant, choose a location with partial shade and protection from intense afternoon sun. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and amend with organic matter such as compost or peat moss. Set the plant at the same depth it was growing in its nursery pot, backfill gently, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool, but keep mulch away from the trunk.

Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, camellias benefit from consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in spring with an acid-loving plant food, following package directions. Prune lightly after blooming to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged wood. Protect from strong winds and extreme cold, especially in colder zones.
