Choose a position with morning sun or light shade so the plant develops healthy foliage and produces abundant flowers. Water regularly during establishment so the root system develops strongly.

Camellia 'Midnight' care tips

Camellia 'Midnight' prefers soil that remains lightly moist but should never become waterlogged. Apply a camellia fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy growth and future flowering.
