Care Guide

Tea Plant (Camellia Sinensis) Eastern Asia, Southern Asia
Plant Care
  • Thrives in part sun to part shade, preferably morning sun and afternoon shade, but some species can tolerate more direct sunlight in cooler zones. Suited for hardiness zones 6-10, depending on the variety.
  • Camellias prefer consistent moisture, especially during their first growing season, so it's important to water deeply and regularly, allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry between waterings.
  • This is a pet friendly plant.
  • Depending on the species, camellias can bloom from fall through spring, providing a splash of color in gardens during the cooler months when many other plants are dormant!
Sad Plant Signs
