Camellia (Peach)

The Camellia Peach is a cultivar of the Camellia plant species, known for its bright peach-colored flowers that bloom in late winter or early spring. This evergreen plant is compact and slow-growing, reaching a height and width of 4-6 feet. The leaves are glossy and dark green, providing a nice contrast to the blooms. The Camellia Peach prefers well-drained, acidic soil and partial to full shade. It is hardy and can be grown in a variety of climates, although it is not frost-tolerant and may require protection in colder regions.

To care for the Camellia Peach plant, follow these tips:

1. Water: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged.
2. Light: Place the plant in a location with bright, indirect light or partial shade.
3. Soil: Use well-draining, acidic soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5.
4. Fertilizer: Fertilize with an acid-based fertilizer in spring and again in mid-summer.
5. Pruning: Prune the plant immediately after flowering to maintain shape and promote healthy new growth.
6. Protection: Provide protection from cold and windy conditions, as the plant is not frost-tolerant.
7. Pests: Watch for pests such as scale insects and aphids and treat with an appropriate pesticide if necessary.
