⭐ Additional Variety Information
This is a well-rooted Camellia japonica starter plant, an unusual variety not commonly found in stores.

You will receive (1) healthy starter plant shipped in its current 3-inch pot. Please keep the plant in its original pot for at least 30 days before transplanting. Transplanting too early or into an oversized pot may cause root stress and damage the plant.

Important Note:
You are purchasing a young starter plant. Listing photos may show a more mature plant for reference. Actual size and appearance may vary.

Mature size is approximately 8–12 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide. Suitable for USDA 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. Gradually introduce the plant to more sun over several weeks as it matures. Camellias prefer morning sun with light afternoon shade.

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

Some yellowing leaves are normal and part of the plant’s natural growth cycle.
