Re: Camelias - time to give up trying?
Ah ha! Aerolor, mine is white perhaps that is why it flowers early. It's in a South facing spot under tree and next to other shrubs, could be dry in summer or in a frost pocket.Re: Camelias - time to give up trying?

Just leave it to get on with life. They don't like the frost, but if it's sheltered from the early sun it should not be harmed too much.Re: Camelias - time to give up trying?

I looked it up Tess, and it seems it is best to move when the plant is dormant e.g. late autumn, or at a pinch early winter. It will be getting ready to flower now.Re: Camelias - time to give up trying?
I left gorgeous camellias in my last garden, I was tempted to try move them and bring some with me but it seemed a bit cheeky as the garden was a bit of a selling point so I left them for the new owners.Re: Camelias - time to give up trying?
The last time I moved, from accross the road, I didn' t have the time or strength to dig up all my lovely plants. I left some magnolias and loads of shrubs. The people who moved in promised to let me have them if they didn't want them as they weren't into gardening.Re: Camelias - time to give up trying?
I have one camellia in a deep pot. I think it's called Silver Anniversary and produces white flowers. I wrapped the pot in flooring insulation material and wrapped the base of the plant with an old hanging basket liner. It faces South and is next to a shed.
