With so many positive attributes,
it is easy to see why camellias are still
in style, at least according to Jesse
Brocato, manager of GreenSide Up in
Fayetteville.
"We have seen a steady increase in
the sale of camellias," Brocato said.
"Camellias are great for landscaping
and add interest in the yard during
times of the year when there is not as
much interest. ey are easy to grow,
are low maintenance and are very well
suited to the Fayetteville area soil and
climate."
If you are now drawn to camellias
as bees are to honey, here are some
recommended growing tips from the
N.C. State Cooperative Extension office
to help you get started:
For the planting site, provide partial
shade, such as under pine trees, and
acidic, moist, well-drained soil that's
high in organic matter.
Plant at the right time of year. In
Fayetteville, fall or spring is fine but
spring is considered better so that
shrubs have the chance to establish a
solid root system before cold weather
hits.
Because plants are slow to establish,
it is best to dig a large hole, three to
four times larger than the root ball,
to reduce competition for water and
nutrients from surrounding trees and
shrubs.
Aer planting, use a 2- to 3-inch
layer of mulch to help maintain soil
moisture around the plant.
Watering is necessary only for newly
planted shrubs or during times of
drought.
Feed with an acid-forming azalea or
camellia fertilizer in spring, aer the
flowers have dropped.
With little effort, countless years of
blooms from the lovely camellia can be
yours. May they make you smile and
laugh.
