It produces an amazing amount of double flowers that open to a bright lavender cerise color aging to purplish blue. Compact plants growing to only 4 to 5 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide are suitable for smaller garden spaces or containers or in groupings or as a low hedge in larger landscape borders. NOTE: Like a blue Hydrangea, the flowers of Green's Blues Camellia will be more blue to purple in acidic soils and more pink to deep pink in soils with a neutral pH. Green's Blues prefers an acid soil ranging from 5.0 to 6.0 on the pH scale. To increase soil acidity apply Soil Sulfur or Aluminum Sulfate as directed on the product label. The use of an composted organic matter as a mulch around the plant can also help to increase soil acidity. SEE: About Soil pH and How To Test and Adjust It Landscape & Garden Uses Growing to about 4 to 5 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide, the Green's Blues Camellia is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a hedge in home foundation plantings and partially shaded landscape borders. Its smaller size also lends well for use in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to blue or purple gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. Growing Preferences Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine. Helpful Articles Click on a below to find helpful advice from our experts on how to plant and care for Camellias.
