Cultivation: Camellias dislike lime and grow best in a neutral or acid soil; (pH 7 or below) that is humus-rich, moist and free-draining. They are happiest in a semi -shaded position with a westerly or sheltered northerly aspect. It is important to avoid south or east facing positions because the flowers may be spoilt by the early morning sun following frosty nights. Neither will they tolerate an exposed windy position, nor a soil which tends to become waterlogged in wet weather. The light dappled shade provided by trees and other shrubs is ideal as long as there is sufficient moisture at the roots.

Full cultural instructions are dispatched with every order.

    I have two Hydrangers purchased last year from Ashwoods and a friend thought they were lovely having weathered the winter and as a result I purchased another one as a Gift and they are highly delighted. The Hydrangers from Ashwoods arrive in a tall box secured within for transit and after a arriving and resting they are lovely.
