Trimming Camellias & Creating an Easy Shade Container | Gardening with Creekside



It is that time of year to trim camellias if they need to be shaped so today I am showing you how easy it is to prune the October Magic® White Shi Shi™ camellias. While we are at it, I will give them a nice dose of slow-release fertilizer to encourage new growth which will help ensure beautiful flowers this fall. Then we are moving to the front porch to create an easy shade container to welcome a very special guest!

    I'm wanting to try and grow camellias this year so thank you for the care instructions. Your planter on the front porch is just perfect! I wouldn't change a thing. Ohh, I hope ya'll have a really sweet time tonight with your guests! That's an exciting guest!!!

    You’re so right about the pollen! I was driving through the Croatan National Forrest the other day and thought it was on fire for all the pollen blowing around! I kept thinking “why can’t I smell smoke if the woods are burning”? But it was just the trees doing their spring thing! Happy Friday y’all!!

    Could it someone @GardenAnswer? Lol. She said that she would come over once the baby was a bit older. Your camellia is giving some inspiration.

    Pollen is killing my allergies already! It’s turned my car a lovely shade of silvery yellow grey! And Tracy came to visit! I’m so excited for you both – y’all have the same bubbly personality & love of gardens! I’m jealous for both of you getting to hang out & enjoy each other’s company. Happy St Patrick’s Day! 🍀 🍀🍀

    Jenny, would the North Pole arborvitae thrive in this shade container year-round? I assume it wouldn’t see much growth, but will the lack of sun cause it to die?
