Camellias are native to South East Asia and we've been growing them in this country for about 300 years.
Camellias prefer some shade rather than full sun, and acidic soil.
We don't have acidic soil so raise ours in large pots filled with a mix of Ericaceous compost and grit.
Ideally they should be watered with rain water collected in butts.
We planted Japonica "PRINCIPESSA BACIOCCHI"
