Feed with an acid-forming azalea or camellia fertilizer in spring, after the flowers have dropped; fertilize again in the midsummer if growth seems sluggish or foliage looks sparse and begins to lose its deep green color (take care to water the plants the day before feeding in summer).
Camellias are considered very easy to grow, and given their variety, you can easily find a flower that suits your needs. For example, camellia sasanqua blooms during the fall, while the camellia japonic Adolphe Audusson is an early spring grower. Camellias also come in a variety of colors. Although they naturally bloom in colors of basic red, pink and white, their hybrid counterparts come in a large spectrum of reds and purples. The camellia flower is considered an ornamental flower; however, this is not strictly the case.
