Can camellias grow in zone 7?

I know some will, but I really don't know how they will fare there.

As far as blueberries.they grow well in zone 7, and they do very well for me, but I don't know of any super frost tolerant varieties.

What are your thoughts on the best zone 7 areas for berry crops? I can only say that if you're growing berries in zone 7, then you have a wide variety of plants that can tolerate a variety of weather. I know that most people who are just starting out grow tomatoes in zone 7 and they seem to do well. You can also grow peppers and eggplants in zone 7 and they seem to do well. I grew some eggplant in zone 8 and it was about the same as zone 7. However, I had several problems with bugs and a lot of them were from zone 7!

I think that there are no varieties that are super frost tolerant, but the ones that are tolerant are usually pretty hardy. You may want to search here on the forum and check out some of the posts where people have been successful growing berries in zone 7. I'm not a big fan of canning, so I don't know what varieties they have in your area. I don't have any canning or freezing varieties, but there are lots of other varieties that are good for fresh berries. So the answer is, "It depends."

Do camellias like sun or shade?

I'll go a little crazy just looking at them, never mind picking some of the flowers.

How big is the patch? Could be a lot of fun.

As far as I'm concerned, a little sun or shade will make my day. Even though they do like sun.

That was the other thing about comingllias.they do need sun. I had one that grew over 7 ft tall and it was in shady area, but it didn't have as many flowers as my smaller plant that was in full sun. The only time that camellias have more flowers is when they're flowering, which I don't even notice until it's almost spring again. The only time I notice the color are when there are leaves to view.

Well, it can go either way! I've got plants in the ground and in pots. Plants in pots don't need a ton of direct light.maybe a few hours a day. I have a plant right now in a pot that would like more light than that. But, as I move plants out of pots into the ground, I need to figure out what light requirements my plants need. That'll have to come up during planting time this year.

If you want bulbs for now, you could plant crocus. They grow really, really fast. If you want to plant flowers, I recommend starting with daffodils or tulips.

As long as you give it ample room and some sun and water, it should be fine. "Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties." ~ Frederic Chopin How would you know what to expect from them if you didn't already know what they needed? It can go both ways. As many have said, it doesn't matter if you can see or not.

I had a huge batch of camellias growing behind our house. I took the entire set of plants and put them in the ground, leaving about a foot between them. One of the camellias was growing in a shade box and it never recovered from being taken away from the full sun it grew in. Other plants that were moved to the sun still flourished.

I'd suggest getting some kind of book on planting bulbs so you can get an idea of how they'll grow and bloom. That way you won't be surprised by anything you might read later.

What month is best to plant camellias?

By: Richard Allen.

Camellias are easy to grow. They are best in spring, so they can be planted in late winter and early spring. You can plant them anytime between February and March. Be sure to give them ample room to grow. You should plant them in rich soil with plenty of organic matter. This will help the roots develop better.

For best results, make sure that you get a good mulch. This will keep the soil cooler, prevent weeds and keep the roots moist. You can use leaves, pine needles, sawdust or any organic mulch.

To give your camellias a good start, you need to prune them. Prune them in early spring. You can do this by cutting back all stems and leaves that are 3 inches or less in length.

It is important that you keep camellias well pruned. If you do not do this, the growth of your plants will be stunted. There will be fewer flowers and leaves will be small and will be very short. Your plants will also develop into trees.

The only thing you need to do is keep your camellias properly pruned. If you do this, your plants will grow more healthily. They will flower more and will give you beautiful colorful blooms.

A few tips for Camellias. Grow your own Camellias. Plant them in your garden and in pots. Make sure that you plant them in a sunny location. You can also grow them indoors.

You can fertilize your camellias with a manure tea. This will help your plants to grow better and healthier. You can make this at home with a bucket and some manure. Add it to a 5 gallon bucket, and then leave it to stand for 3 days. Then use it in your garden. It will do wonders for your plants.

One of the most popular flowers in the world, the camellia, is in need of your help. The species has been devastated in many places. Even if you do not have the time to save them from extinction, you can help keep the camellia family around by planting them in your garden. They are easy to grow, and they can be planted at any time of the year.

You can easily grow them indoors as long as you have a sunny window.

If you love garden flowers, you have probably heard of the "Three Sisters"Tilia, Clematis, and Peonya garden flower trio that has become synonymous with Japanese gardens everywhere. The Three Sisters are also known as the "Hearth and Home Sisters" and even "Heaven's Flower Lovers." As the season's approach (that is, fall), I'm reminded of Japanese garden lore that they represent different aspects of a life well lived: Tilia (Lushi) represents harmony, joy, loyalty, home, and a happy life. Clematis (Rusuki) represents purity, affection, loyalty, the future, fertility, longevity, and children. Peony (Wacha) represents beauty, love, hope, and good fortune. I'm always drawn to the notion of these three characters in a garden because this idea of home is a central idea in Japanese tradition and history. It seems we can take the story so far as it fits, but in my view, the Three Sisters garden is something of a story of a new type for Japan.

Today, Japanese gardens are not necessarily designed around the idea of the Three Sisters or using them as the central motif. If you go to many of today's shrines and temples, it's more than likely you will find the garden surrounding the structure one or more sides, but you'll not likely see them in a prominent location.

Many who live in North America don't understand the beauty and meaning of a Japanese garden when they visit one. This may because of the many misconceptions about Japanese gardens and many Japanese traditions. We tend to consider Japanese gardens in the West more along the lines of the European tradition of manicured formal gardens of stone, plants, sculptures, fountains, and ponds, rather than the nature-influenced and freeform garden of the West. We also, in many cases, do not have the understanding that Japanese garden design is an important part of what is called the Way of Tea.
