Why Camellia Growers Love These Elegant Shrubs

The popularity of camellias among New Zealand camellia growers is no surprise. These shrubs come in an impressive range of colors, forms, and bloom times, making it easy to create a garden with interest from winter right through to spring. Many camellia growers plant them as hedges, specimen shrubs, or as outstanding background plantings. Camellias are generally easy to maintain, drought-tolerant once established, and seldom troubled by pests or diseases. Their dense foliage creates excellent privacy screens while their flowers attract pollinators at a time when little else is in bloom.

Choosing the Best Varieties for Camellia Growers

Successful camellia growers know that selecting the right variety for their site is key. Some camellias, like Camellia Kramers Beauty, are prized for their large, deep pink blooms that make a dramatic statement. Others, such as Camellia 'Kramers Supreme', offer stunning performance with double crimson flowers and a delightfully long blooming period. For camellia growers seeking winter colour, Camellia sasanqua Sparkling Burgundy delights with its sparkling deep wine blooms and fine-textured foliage, perfect for hedges or espalier.

Those wanting white blooms might prefer Camellia Setsugekka, known for its elegant white flowers that light up shaded borders. And for a touch of delicacy, the pure, satiny pink flowers of Camellia Pure Silk will add a touch of refinement to any camellia collection.

Tips from Expert Camellia Growers

Healthy growth and prolific flowering begin with the right site selection. Camellia growers recommend planting in slightly acidic, free-draining soil enriched with compost. Camellias enjoy morning sun and afternoon shade, thriving when sheltered from harsh winds. Mulch well to keep roots cool and moist, especially during dry spells. Most camellia growers prune after flowering to shape their plants and encourage more blooms the following season.

Regular feeding with a specialist camellia fertiliser, keeping weeds at bay, and checking for signs of scale or sooty mould will ensure your camellias reach their full potential and reward your efforts year after year.
