Growing Camellia Silver Dollar Successfully in NZ

Camellia Silver Dollar thrives thrives with a well-drained soil when positioned in full sun or partial shade. Be sure to plant it in a sheltered spot away from harsh winds. Enriching the soil with organic matter will help promote healthier growth and more prolific flowering. Regular watering during dry periods also helps to maintain the vibrant foliage and flowers.

Camellia Silver Dollar Care Tips

Water regularly during dry spells and prune lightly after flowering to maintain the desired shape. Feed acid-loving plants with fertiliser in early spring to boost growth and flowering. Look for common pests such as aphids and scale insects, and treat early to avoid damage. Removing spent flowers encourages further blooming and keeps the plant tidy. Avoid overwatering, which may cause root rot. Good drainage is the key to growing healthy and amazing plants.

Plant Size and Spacing

Camellia Silver Dollar typically grows to 2-2.5 m tall and 1.5 m wide. If you wish to develop them as discrete plants, space them at least 2 m apart. However, the ideal spacing is 50-100 cm apart to grow them as a hedge. The closer they are planted, the faster the hedge will fill in. Regular pruning can help maintain the preferred shape, and this plant does respond well to trimming.
