Can Shi Shi camellias take full sun?
I'm getting ready to plant 3 of them in my planter, and they'll need shade for at least a year before I would recommend them as being in full sun.
Would you be able to tell me how many hours of sun they can take in total throughout their growth cycle?
Thanks! Amy (Amy at Amy's Camellias). Hi Amy. Shi Shis can take full sun (at least 6-8 hours) if they're placed away from direct sun, or they can tolerate the heat more if you plant them in a shady spot. They will bloom faster if you add another plant in the background shade. They also flower better when there's a bit of overhead shade, though they still can tolerate full sun. They prefer a little added moisture too. It really depends on the variety of shi Shi you get, which will give you some insight as to how long you can expect them to stay in full sun. Best,
Sunsun. I am growing Camellia sasanqua shrub in my flower garden and they are not showing flower. It is early November here in Washington State. I know the plant should be blooming by now. Should I wait or do I put them inside a glass house? Thanks!
Hi Sunsun. The main blooms for this cultivar will be in December/January. This was the only type of crape Myrtus that took our conditions here well. We grow the type with large white flowers. But they look a little like a Christmas tree and are usually pretty small. Best,
I am also confused and need to grow Camellia sasanqua shrub. Do they need to be fertilized, transplanted into garden pots first? Or will they grow and flower on their own in a pot in front of house. I have one from local florist and it grew up to about 5 ft tall and still flowering nicely. That's just how they work! You just water regularly but don't over-fertilize.
