🌸 Spring-Flowering Camellias
– A Beginner’s Guide

As winter fades, camellias bring a burst of colour to UK gardens. With glossy green leaves and beautiful blooms from February onwards, they’re a perfect early spring flower!

🌿 Why Grow Camellias?

✅ Early Blooms – Brightens up your garden before most plants flower.
✅ Evergreen Leaves – Looks good all year round.
✅ Low Maintenance – Easy to care for once established.

Their soft pinks, deep reds, and snowy whites add elegance, and the yellow centres make them pop in any garden.

🌞 Where & How to Grow Camellias

🌱 Soil – They love acidic, well-drained soil (add ericaceous compost if needed).
☀️ Light – Partial shade is best – too much sun can scorch the leaves.
💧 Watering – Keep soil moist but avoid waterlogging.
🛡️ Protection – In colder areas, plant in sheltered spots to protect from frost.
