It prefers well-drained, acidic soil with consistent moisture to support healthy growth and prolific flowering. This camellia is also ideal for container gardening, allowing for versatile placement around the garden or on patios and terraces. Plant spacing should be approximately 1.5 to 2 metres apart to ensure adequate air circulation and room for development.
When fully grown, Camellia Koto no Kaori reaches a height and spread of about 2 metres. Its upright, bushy growth habit and fragrant, soft pink flowers add structure and seasonal interest to garden landscapes. This enchanting camellia cultivar enhances any garden with its elegant and aromatic blooms, providing a lush and captivating display from autumn to winter.
Trimming: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches to keep the plant healthy.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to promote new flowers and maintain a tidy appearance.
Fertilising: Apply a specialised camellia or acid-loving plant fertiliser in early spring and again in mid-summer. Avoid over-fertilising to prevent damage to the roots.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the establishment phase and dry periods. Camellias prefer well-drained, acidic soil. Mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Pest Control: Watch for aphids, scale insects, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil.
Disease Management: Be vigilant for signs of root rot, petal blight, and leaf gall. Ensure good air circulation, avoid overhead watering, and apply appropriate fungicides if necessary. Remove and dispose of any infected plant material responsibly.
