This large, evergreen shrub, with glossy dark green foliage, bears spectacular flowers from autumn through winter and into early spring. Flower forms are classified as single, semi double, anemone, peony, rose or formal double. Flowers can turn brown or buds drop due to a lack of humidity, particularly in summer rainfall areas, but this is usually caused by a mite. Plant camellias in a south- or east-facing position where they will be protected from the hot afternoon sun.
