Camellia Early Wonder® Shrub

1. Planting: Choose a well-draining location where the shrub can receive partial shade to full sun. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, and gently place the plant in the center, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firming it gently, and water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during dry spells. Water deeply to encourage root establishment and reduce frequency as the plant matures. Young plants may need more regular watering until established.

3. Pruning: Prune after blooming to help maintain shape and promote bushy growth. Remove any dead or weak branches and keep the center open to improve airflow. This will encourage healthier foliage and blooms in future seasons.

4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs in early spring as new growth begins. Be sure to follow package instructions for appropriate amounts. Avoid fertilizing in late summer to ensure the plant is ready for winter dormancy.
