Camellia Little Liane is a charming evergreen shrub known for its petite, elegant white flowers that come in abundance from late winter to early spring. These delicate peony-like flowers contrast beautifully with the plant's glossy, dark green leaves, adding a touch of elegance to your garden.
Great for small spaces, Camellia Little Liane's compact form makes it perfect for use in garden beds, hedges, borders, or as a container plant. It thrives in partially shaded areas, with morning sun and afternoon shade being ideal. This plant prefers acidic, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Regular watering is essential, particularly during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.
Grows to a height of approximately 1-1.5m and a similar spread.
Trimming: Prune Camellia Little Liane after flowering in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, acid-forming fertiliser in spring and midsummer. Avoid fertilising after late summer as it can encourage new growth susceptible to frost damage.
Watering: Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged, particularly during the establishment phase and in dry periods. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture.
Pest Control: Watch for common pests such as aphids, scale insects, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
Disease Management: Look out for signs of root rot, camellia petal blight, and sooty mould. Improve drainage to prevent root rot, remove affected flowers promptly to control petal blight, and treat sooty mould by managing the underlying pest issues.
