Growing Camellia Sprite Successfully in NZ

Camellia Sprite prefers fertile, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Plant in locations offering partial shade or filtered sunlight, protecting the delicate blooms from harsh afternoon sun. It tolerates moderate frost and benefits from sheltered garden spots. Regular watering during dry spells supports healthy growth.

Camellia Sprite Care Tips

Apply a Camellia-specific fertiliser in early spring and late summer to promote flowering and lush foliage. Light pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth. Mulch well to conserve moisture and prevent weeds. Inspect regularly for pests such as scale or aphids and treat as required.

Plant Size and Spacing

This shrub grows to roughly 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, making it suitable for medium-sized gardens. When planting multiples, space 1.5 m apart to ensure adequate airflow and avoid overcrowding. Ideal as a specimen, hedge, or mixed border plant.
