Planting Tips:
Camellia 'Sea Foam' should be planted in autumn or spring to avoid frost. This permits the plant to establish its root system before summer or winter. Select a place with dappled shade or morning sun and afternoon shade. Camellias prefer shade from the midday sun, which can scorch their leaves. Soil: Camellia 'Sea Foam' grows in acidic, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5. If drainage is poor in heavy clay soils, amend with organic matter or grow in a raised bed or container. Planting: Dig twice as wide and equally deep as the root ball. Pot-bound roots can be gently removed. Backfill and water the plant to settle the root ball level.
Watering needs:
Camellias need frequent watering, especially in dry conditions and during their first few years. Keep soil wet but not saturated.
Instead of regular shallow watering, deep water weekly. Encourages deeper rooting.
Mulching:
To avoid rot, cover the plant base with a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch like pine needles or bark, keeping it a few inches from the stem.
Mulch regulates soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and enriches as it decomposes.
Pruning:
After blooming, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Remove dead or diseased wood, thin crowded sections for airflow, and shape the plant if needed.
Camellia 'Sea Foam' grows slowly, thus heavy trimming is unnecessary.
Fertilizing:
Apply a camellia-specific acid-forming fertilizer in late winter to early spring before new growth. The manufacturer specifies application rates and frequency. Plants might suffer from overfertilization. To naturally improve soil, top-dress with well-rotted compost or manure in autumn.
