Product Information

Full details

The Carbeth Plants Camellia Mary Williams is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a vigorous, evergreen shrub that provides vibrant color during the colder months. Perfectly suited for both novice and experienced growers, this plant thrives in containers or as a medium-height hedge, offering deep rose-pink blooms from late winter through mid-spring. While it provides year-round foliage, prospective owners should note that it requires acidic soil and consistent moisture to flourish, making it slightly more demanding than common low-maintenance shrubs.

FAQs

Can I grow this plant in full sun?

It is not recommended. Camellia Mary Williams prefers semi-shaded conditions with light, dappled shade to prevent leaf scorch.

How often should I water my Camellia?

Keep the soil moist, especially during the first 18 months and throughout the summer months when flower buds are forming.

Does it need a specific type of soil?

Yes, it prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil. If your soil is alkaline, it is best to plant it in a container with ericaceous compost.

How tall will the plant get?

When fully mature, the Camellia Mary Williams can reach a height of between 2 and 3 metres.

When is the best time to prune?

The ideal time to prune is immediately after the flowering season has finished in mid-spring.

Can this plant survive a UK winter?

Yes, this is a UK garden-ready plant and is fully evergreen, meaning it is built to withstand typical outdoor conditions.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing leaves

This is often a sign of alkaline soil. Ensure the plant is in an acidic, ericaceous medium and avoid using tap water if it is high in lime.

Bud drop before flowering

Usually caused by inconsistent watering during the previous summer. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist while flower buds are setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Planting: Choose a semi-shaded spot. If your native soil is alkaline, amend it with peat-free ericaceous compost or grow in a container.
Watering: Water thoroughly immediately after planting. During the first 18 months, check the soil regularly to ensure it never dries out completely.
Soil Needs: Prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil conditions to prevent nutrient lockout and leaf yellowing.
Pruning: Lightly prune after the flowering period ends in mid-spring to maintain a compact, tidy shape.
Maintenance: Apply a balanced ericaceous fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous growth.
