HOW TO GROW PINK PERFECTION CAMELLIAS

Grow the Camellia Pink Perfection shrub across the United States in USDA hardiness zones 7-10. Camellias love moist, acidic soil so check out our  Acidic Potting Mix for sale to help amend the soil at your planting site. Well draining soil is a plus too because they don’t like wet feet.

The mature size of the camellia shrub is up o 7-12 feet tall and 5-8 feet wide and forms a bushy growth habit. It loves the full sun in the morning and afternoon partial shade to protect it from the heat. Applying a slow release fertilizer annually will help promote new growth and flowers that come back year after year. The Pink Perfection Camellia growth rate is up to 1-2 feet per year.

The best time to prune camellias is after they finish flowering in spring. You don’t want to risk cutting off the medium sized shell pink camellia flowers for next year. Prune the dark green leaves to maintain your desired shape and size. Once the camellia bush grows larger, you can prune off lower branches to create a camellia tree form.

Mulch the evergreen shrub annually to help retain moisture and provide adequate water during times of heat stress.
