Camellias are traditional spring-flowering plants with vibrant wax-like blossoms and shiny vegetation. 'Grand Slam' has stunning, dark red, dual or semi-double blossoms and fantastic shiny results in. It should be in a protected position to prevent cold gusts of wind and late freeze which can ruin the blossoms. All camellias need acid ground but if your ground is limey, you can grow one wonderfully in a large tub loaded with ericaceous, or lime-free rich compost. For container-grown camellias prevent using tap water as it contains too much lime; use rain water from a water buttocks instead.
