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).
A number of large shrubs or small trees bloom in winter, especially late winter. Fewer have pink and white flowers. The best known are various camellia species, including the popular Japanese camellia (Camellia japonica), hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 through 9.
