The flowers are produced in such abundance that even when the petals drop, they create a beautiful carpet of color on the ground. Contrasting beautifully against the deep green evergreen foliage, depending on the weather, the flower buds begin opening during mid to late winter in our north-central Georgia location, making it one of a handful of plants in bloom at this time of year. A vigorous upright grower with a somewhat spreading habit reaching 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, Christmas Candy can be grown as a shrub that's full to the ground, or lower branches can be removed to a desired height, forming a highly attractive small tree. The flowers can be enjoyed indoors by cutting and displaying several in a vase or floral arrangement. One of those plants that will always have you looking forward to winter!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, the Christmas Candy Camellia is ideal for use as an accent specimen in partially shaded smaller garden spaces and home foundation plantings. Where space allows in larger landscape or woodland borders, it can be grouped or planted as a hedge. Avoid direct afternoon sunlight. It is especially nice as an espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. Lower branches can be removed as the plant grows to form a highly attractive and colorful small tree excellent for use as a focal point specimen. A fine addition to Camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, Asian gardens, and woodland borders.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCamellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect.
