PlantNation111 Camellia japonica

While it arrives in a 6-inch container, this variety is a shrub that eventually reaches 10 to 12 feet in height. It will eventually require transplanting into the ground or a significantly larger, permanent outdoor planter to support its mature root system.

Partial sun means this Camellia prefers morning sunlight and protection from the harsh, direct heat of the afternoon. Placing it where it receives dappled light or shade during the hottest part of the day will prevent the leaves from scorching.

Camellias are generally slow to moderate growers. You can expect it to take several years of consistent care and favorable growing conditions to reach its full mature height.

No, this is an outdoor shrub. It requires the natural seasonal temperature fluctuations and humidity levels found outdoors to thrive and produce its signature blooms.

Like most Camellias, 'Carter's Sunburst' prefers acidic, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your native soil is heavy clay or highly alkaline, you may need to amend it or plant in a raised bed to ensure proper drainage.
