Camellia 'Dianna' benefits from feeding in spring and again in summer with a fertiliser formulated for camellias and acid loving plants. Apply mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool, ensuring mulch is kept clear of the trunk. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain a dense attractive shape. Remove spent blooms to keep the plant tidy and encourage healthy growth.
