💡 Care Tip: After arrival, pot your young Tri Color Camellia in an appropriately sized container with acidic, well-draining soil and keep it in a protected location while it establishes. Starter plants are not yet large landscape-ready shrubs, so allowing approximately 6–12 months of protected container growth can help develop a stronger plant before permanent planting. Plants ordered from November through April may arrive dormant, and flowers are not guaranteed at shipment. This cultivar can naturally produce both variegated and solid-colored flowers on the same plant, a phenomenon known as sporting.
