Why Choose Camellias for Full Shade?

Camellias not only tolerate shade but can positively thrive in it. They are well-known for their elegant blooms that adorn gardens in the cooler months, offering a splash of color when many other plants are dormant. These stunning flowering shrubs are diverse, with varieties that range from delicate pastels to striking reds. Moreover, they generally prefer acidic soil conditions, making them ideal for New Zealand gardens.

When selecting camellias for shaded areas, it’s essential to consider your specific light conditions. Areas with dappled sunlight are perfect for most varieties, while deeper shade may limit flowering. Some fantastic options that do well in full shade include Camellia Nuccios Pearl and Camellia Setsugekka, both admired for their hardiness and gorgeous blooms.

Maintenance Tips for Camellias in Full Shade
