Plant camellias in late fall or early spring. They are evergreens and will do well in just about any climate that experiences typical seasonal temperatures. - 2
Choose a spot for the camellia, be it sunny or partially shaded. Make sure the area has adequate drainage. If not pruned, camellias can grow over 10 feet high. - 3
Dig a hole about 2 feet wider than the root ball. If planting more than one camellia, space them approximately 5 feet apart. If they are being planted as hedges, then space them 3 feet apart. - 4
Fill in the hole, firming the soil as you go along so the roots make good contact with the soil. - 5
Mulch around the base of the shrub and water thoroughly. Be sure to water once a week in very dry weather conditions.
