Camelia japonica variegated hybrid
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007The second picture to appear in my new book is of Camelia japonica Edna Bass which has just been watered. I keep my camelia garden well mulched with pine straw and bark . The garden is beneath a high pine over-story. I fertilize with azalea-camelia fertilizer twice a year . I water if it has been dry and frequently during the blooming season. (My season is long as I have enough plants to have early to late bloomers or about 4 months or more of blossoms). C. sinensis is the plant that tea comes from.
