Camellias The genus Camellia originally found in China, Japan and Southeast Asia, is grown throughout the world, where conditions and climate allow (-5°F. to 100°F.) These evergreen shrubs need some shade and protection from drying winds, so plant on the north or east side of a structure or under tall deeprooted shade trees or under lath. They also need well-drained soil and acid type fertilizer (same as the rhododendron). Prune right after flowering.
