Oftentimes the cause can be traced to planting errors. Some of the more common mistakes are planting too deep, planting in full sun, and planting where drainage is poor Okay, so you don’t plant shrubbery at your house; you let your men folks do it, but there probably aren’t many homemakers who don’t have the opportunity to supervise this chore To be sure the camellia is planted the right depth, place a straight stick across the top of the hole Then plant so the top of the soil ball is at least one inch above the level of the stick Firming the soil in the botton of the planting hole first will prevent settling And remember that camellias grow best in filtered shade rater than full sun Planting under tall pines affords proper shade. It’ll protect blooms from light frost, too. This final tip: Planting in poorly drained areas always results in root rotting Consequently, you get unthrifty growth maybe even death of the plants ATTENTION LADIES Be a stylist for Judy Lee Jewels.
