Do I really have to plant out a camellia?

A camellia will often bloom in the pot sold but is no good as Houseplant suitable. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to plant this flower in the garden. However, it is not real hardy and does not survive long cold winters without protection. If you have an unheated winter garden, then this is an almost ideal place for your camellia. She prefers rather cool temperatures.

When should I plant my camellia?

Wait until your camellia is a bit more robust before planting it out. Then she can take light frost or direct sunlight a little better. It should therefore be around three to four years old. The time shortly after flowering, before the camellia puts its energy into root growth and bud formation, has proven to be particularly beneficial.
