Shishi Gashira Camellia Care
Be sure to choose an appropriate location for your Camellia.
Planting Time: Plant any time of the year taking care to avoid temperature extremes on either end of the spectrum.
Sun: Part sun to part shade
Soil: Fertile, acidic, moist, but well drained
Water: When newly planted, water deeply at least twice weekly. Camellias prefer a moist soil, but are drought tolerant once established.
Fertilizer: Use our slow release fertilizer in early spring.
Mulch: Mulching is a great way to keep the roots cool, soil moist, and add nutrients to the soil. We recommend using about 2 inches of mulch covering the entire root zone.
Pruning: Prune after flowering if needed to remove dead and dying branches or correct aesthetic or structural issues

Shishi Gashira Camillia
This is my third order of Shishi Gashira camillias - once a year for the past three years. They are wonderful ... they have arrived quickly in good condition and have thrived in my yard.

Shishi Gashira Camellia
I am so pleased with this beautiful Camellia. It arrived in bloom and I couldn’t be more pleased. I have potted it up and it will live on my porch until the spring and then I will plant it into my garden.
