The jewel of the southern garden, camellias are one of the most versatile and showy shrubs for your landscape. With the right insight and planning, it\u2019s possible to have a camellia garden that blooms from fall until spring depending on the varieties you choose.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re going to focus on the fall-blooming varieties of camellia and highlight some of the top choices you can find right now at Meadows Farms Nurseries.<\/p>\n

Fall versus Spring<\/h2>\n

Camellia japonica<\/strong> is the spring-blooming varieties of camellia that begin their bloom cycle in late winter and continue through the first part of spring. For today\u2019s post, we\u2019re interested in Camellia sasanqua<\/strong>, the fall-blooming varieties that begin their blooming in late fall and continue into the first part of winter. So long as you remember these names, you\u2019ll never make the mistake of buying a spring-blooming camellia when you meant to buy a fall-blooming one.<\/p>\n

Fall-blooming camellias are generally hardier than their spring-blooming cousins, as well as being more drought and disease tolerant. While most camellias prefer light shade, fall-bloomers can tolerate more sun than spring-bloomers. It\u2019s not all rosy for fall-bloomers, as they tend to be smaller, both in growth and in flower size, than spring-blooming varieties.<\/p>\n
