Planting & Care

How to Care for Your Purple Haze Camellia

Light Requirements

This camellia thrives in partial shade to filtered sunlight. It performs best when protected from harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves and fade the vibrant flower color. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal.

Soil Preferences

Camellias prefer well-draining, slightly acidic soil with good organic content. If your soil is too alkaline, you can amend it with peat moss, pine bark, or an acid-based fertilizer.

Watering Needs

While established camellias are relatively drought-tolerant, they do best with consistent moisture. Water deeply once or twice a week, especially during hot or dry periods. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Fertilization

Feed your Purple Haze Camellia with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in early spring and again in mid-summer to encourage lush growth and abundant blooms.

Pruning Tips

Camellias require minimal pruning, but you can shape them after flowering to maintain their desired form. Removing dead or weak branches will also encourage healthier growth and better air circulation.
