Important Note:
These are young starter plants and should not be transplanted into oversized containers. Keep the plant in its original pot for at least 30 days after arrival. After that, transplant only into a 4-inch pot and keep it there for at least 6 months. Transplanting too early or into a large pot may cause root stress and plant decline.

Listing photos may show a mature plant for reference. Actual plant size and appearance may vary.
Mature size is approximately 8–12 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide. Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 7–10.

Place the plant in a protected area away from cold winds to help protect buds and flowers. Young plants should be kept out of direct sunlight and gradually introduced to more sun over several weeks as they mature. Camellias prefer morning sun with light afternoon shade.

Plant in moist, well-draining soil. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, and avoid allowing it to dry out completely. Reduce watering during winter dormancy.
