Do Camilla's grow well in containers and do they bloom all winter long.?

Answer 1

Camillas will grow nicely in containers until the roots become crowded and they will need to be moved to a bigger container. My camillas are growing in the ground, and they only bloom from about Oct through mid-November. But, they do look wonderful while in bloom. Good luck

Answer 2

From my experience they don't. I started one in a container thinking I would keep it that way and within a year it just wasn't doing well so I found a spot to plant it in the yard. It is fine now and blooms twice a year, there are buds on it now and it will be blooming in December. It also blooms in early summer.

Answer 3

Camelia's grow great in containers, as long as the pot is large enough and you use a good potting soil. I would use a pot atleast 20" in diameter. Sasanqua's bloom in fall around October through January, usually, and japonicas bloom February through April. To increase the bloom time of your container you might try adding companion plants around the base of the Camelia. You could use Cyclamen, Primrose and Violas, to name a few. Good luck!
