Overview
Camellias are a hardy group of plants that are grown from cool temperate climates through to tropical regions. While many Camellia species are highly adaptable, the bestGrowing Camellias results are generally achieved by choosing cultivars to suit the climate and conditions you are growing them in.
Tea leaves are derived from the plant Camellia sinensis, a species that does well in tropical and sub tropical conditions. Other species, (eg. Camellia reticulata) does not adapt so well to warm climates, and is generally far better in a cool temperate climate. Camellia oleifera is another species grown as a commercial crop oil from this species is used commercially in china.
The three most common ornamental species are:
- Camellia japonica mainly bred varieties from the original, smaller flowered species.
- Camellia sasanqua species from Japan, smaller flowers than C. japonica.
- Camellia reticulata species from China.
