Camellia Bartlett – 1 Litre

The Camellia Bartlett is a charming evergreen shrub known for its glossy, dark green foliage and exquisite blooms. In early spring, it bursts into life with delicate, semi-double flowers in soft pink hues that add elegance and color to the garden. Compact and versatile, it’s perfect for smaller spaces, containers, or as part of a mixed border.

Best Position: This Camellia thrives in a partially shaded location, protected from harsh, direct sunlight, particularly in the afternoon. It prefers well-drained, acidic soil and benefits from a sheltered spot, avoiding cold, drying winds and frost-prone areas.

Height: It is relatively compact, reaching an approximate height of 1-1.5 meters over 5-10 years, making it suitable for gardens of all sizes.

When to Prune: Light pruning should be done immediately after flowering, around late spring. This helps maintain its shape and remove any damaged or dead wood. Avoid heavy pruning as it may affect the following season’s blooms.

When to Feed: Feed in early spring with an acidic, slow-release fertilizer designed for ericaceous (acid-loving) plants. A second feed in midsummer will encourage robust growth and plentiful blooms.

Flowering Time: Camellia Bartlett blooms from late winter to early spring, adding a burst of color to the garden when few other plants are in flower.
