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).
Growing Camellia from seed. Sow at a depth of approx. 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between Garden balsam plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20Â°C / 68Â°F to ensure good germination. By our calculations, you should look at sowing Camellia about 35 days before your last frost date.
