Early Pearly Camellias flower during the Winter and Spring months. Deadheading camellias is optional and mainly done for cosmetic reasons. If you enjoy the appearance of a clean and tidy plant, you can remove spent flowers, but it’s not essential for the health or future blooming of the camellia. How far apart do I plant for a hedge? Plant these Camellias around 1-1.5m apart for a screening hedge. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a consistent soil temperature. Understand that it may take some time for the camellias to grow and fill in the hedge. Be patient, and as the plants mature, they will create a dense and attractive hedge. When should I fertilise my camellias? Fertilise camellias in late winter to early spring, just before new growth appears. Use a specialised camellia fertiliser and follow the recommended rates to keep plants healthy and flowering beautifully.
