Planting & Care

Growing La Peppermint Camellia

This camellia is a fantastic choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. Here’s what it needs to thrive:

Sunlight: Prefers morning sun and afternoon shade. It also does well in filtered light or on the north side of your home where sunlight is softer.

Soil: Needs moist, rich, well-drained soil that’s on the acidic side (pH below 6.5). If your soil isn’t ideal, no worries! You can easily grow it in a pot with soil designed for acid-loving plants.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during its first year as it gets established. After that, it’s pretty drought-tolerant for a camellia.

Climate: Hardy in USDA zones 7–9. If you’re in a cooler zone, simply grow it in a container and bring it indoors during the colder months.

Care: Pruning is rarely necessary thanks to its naturally tidy shape, and it’s generally resistant to pests and diseases.

Why Choose Our L.A. Peppermint Camellia

Proper Container Sizes for Healthy Root Development
Some growers keep camellias in undersized pots too long, leading to root-bound plants that struggle to establish. Others move smaller plants into larger pots right before shipping to make them look bigger than they really are. We grow every L.A. Peppermint Camellia in correctly sized containers from the beginning, allowing roots to spread naturally for healthier, stronger plants.

Shipped in Soil, Never Bare Root
Bare root shipping may cut costs, but it often leads to dehydration and transplant shock. We ship our camellias in soil-filled containers, protecting their roots and giving them the best chance to settle in quickly and start thriving in your garden.

Grown for Strength and Longevity, Not Speed
Some nurseries rush camellias out before they’re ready, sacrificing long-term health for fast sales. We focus on steady, balanced growth, so our L.A. Peppermint Camellias arrive strong, well-branched, and ready to perform year after year.
