I love that you do these 'Ask Jenny' segments. Even though I live in a 5b zone, I enjoy learning about plants that do well all over and how to take care of them properly. You never know, I may end up living in an area where I could plant a camellia and now I know how to care for them. Thanks for taking the time to explain/teach us all about caring for all of the plants.
Thank you, Jenny, for this episode! I have four 30+year old Sasanquas in the flower beds in front of my house, and they have a mind of their own! I have always had trouble pruning them to keep them in shape, but have always had issues with how to prune them without harming them… much love from zone 9A! 🌸🌺🌸🌺
Love listening and learning from 5A north Iowa. Unusually mild winter so far with a balmy 39 degree high today and sunshine but fun to enjoy your warm North Carolina winter and plants/shrubs.
Brilliantly explained Jenny it's so useful to have a genus related detailed videos like this one, they will hopefully be of use for years to come to many that come across them and need access to digested knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Jenny, it’s Gigi here. I would love to hear you focus on Weigila and how they may or may not be for us southern gardeners. I’d like to understand when to fertilize, prune etc. thanks Jenny!
I love the ask Jenny segments and I love Camellias but didn't know that much about their care. Thank you
Jennie looks pretty in purple
Would LOVE to see them again when blooming if you get a chance during your busy potting up time 😉
I will do my best!!!
Camellia Forest Nursery also sells trees and shrubs other than camellias. They even graft abies conifers on firma rootstock which is great for those of us in the SE that love conifers. Great nursery….love it!
Dear Jenny,
I live in zone 7a Central Virginia with lovely red clay, acidic soil. I am planning a parterre garden and want to install the border plants in the spring. The bed is already created and waiting patiently through winter. It is rectangular, 24 ft wide X 36 ft long with a Forest Pansy redbud (15g planted in spring 2022) in the very center. Each corner of the rectangle has a Buxus x Green Mountain. The center of each quadrant in the parterre will have a single David Austin Rose (Olivia Rose Austin and Gertrude Jekyll) with some other deer repellent perennial like nepeta or perovskia surrounding the roses. Currently each quadrant is full of tulip and daffodil bulbs, planted November 2023 for a Spring show. Space has been reserved to install the border hedge plants. It gets great full sun all day through spring, summer, and fall; winter is a bit more shaded as it is on the North side of the house in the front yard. We have pesky deer who think my gardens are their personal salad bar, brazen enough to eat the pansies out of my Charleston basket boy in the garden near the sidewalk leading to the front door.
For the border hedge plants, I'm struggling to choose between traditional boxwood (Buxus microphylla Baby Gem) or substituting a holly variety (Ilex crenata Hoogendorn). I know deer are not fond of Buxus, but I'm unsure of Ilex. I'm also trying to keep this high maintenance bed as low maintenance as possible so I only want to trim the hedges once or twice a year and maintain a maximum height of 3 ft.
The Question -> Which border hedge plants would be the best choice, considering my conditions and requirements? I have considered other, non-traditional evergreen hedge plants, like Abelia chinensis Rose Creek or Cryptomeria japonica Globosa Nana so I am open to suggestions beyond Buxus or Ilex.
I love your channel and I am so excited to see the Signature Garden in Spring when it bursts into flower with your Spring bulbs and annuals. I'm so glad to have found you and have such great information shared by a gardener and professional nursery woman in the Southeast!
I bought a Yuletide camellia this fall and planted it in a pot to size control it. I have a small urban garden so space is limited. This is my first camellia so this video is very helpful.
GREAT Video!
Most helpful info. You answered the questions we had for helping our 25 + year olds that we inherited.
Great Clemson win Jenny!
Just checked my Pink Perfection…I have one perfect bloom with lots of buds!! Lots of buds on Marie Bracey. And several blooms on my Yuletide camellia.
We had 10” brine water flooding in September thanks to Ophelia…my 3 camellias came through beautifully compared to a lot of my other plants. I’m planning to add more this year! 😊
Thank you, I have 6 camellias and I believe I've done the correct planting. They seem to be happy.
Great job! Enjoy your flowers 🌺
Thank you for the tutorial Jenny! One of your previous videos had piqued my interest for sasanqua camellias, so I’ve got seven scented ones on their way from Camellia Forest. Thank you for all that you and Jerry do, y’all have really had a positive impact on my garden!
That’s awesome!!!!
There’s nothing more lovely than Camellias in the fall and winter here in the midlands of South Carolina. My Sasanqua’s have been through the cold and 5.5” of rain in 2 days starting on Christmas Day and are still blooming with Honey Bees everywhere! ❤
In the midlands also and have never gotten blooms on mine since planting two years ago :( they bud up so nice and then the frost gets them. Last year we had that quick freeze but This year has been mild and all the buds already went brown! I wonder if they are in too much wind. Or too wet? I’m so sad they are struggling!
@@laurenk1082 , I just noticed your message, my Sasanqua’s are in full sun all day around my house and get all of the rain because I live on a slight hillside. I have the pink and though the cold hurt them, I still have bloom. My neighbor raises Bees , so they are always on my flowers. My other Camellias are starting to open too, they are along the edge of my yard next to lots of trees with afternoon shade. Good luck 👍🏻
Thank you for this helpful video. Living right on the edge of zone 7b/8a, I took a chance and planted 5 camellias this fall. 2 Jacks, 1 Korean Fire, 1 White by the Gate, and 1 Black Tie. They were 1 and 2 gallon pots, so it will be a while until we have substantial plants if they survive this season. Hoping your care and watering advice with get me through the growing season and that we don't have another zero degree event like we've had one night each of the past two winters.
When I bought my home in 2016 there was a big japonica on the corner of the house, about 10 ft tall. Not sure what variety it is but I limbed it up into a multi trunk tree creating a shade garden underneath! The bark on mature camellias are super interesting! I’m not in love with the color of the blooms but the structure created by this tree is priceless!! And it blooms when almost nothing else does!
I have learned so much from this. Now I’m going to have to find a place where I can add one😎😁
I'm so glad to hear! Have fun shopping!
Good timing for me as I just got an October Magic Ruby 1/2 off from Lowes & it’s my first camellia! Thanks for the great info 👍👏💚
My Ask Jenny question (from a Jenny herself!) would be if you could just come over? 😂 I bought my first home in Statesville, NC a little over a year ago and the possibilities of what I could do with my garden and landscaping are overwhelming.
I guess for the next best question is what are your favorite native plants to have in your garden (and any to avoid)? Also, what would you add to reduce road noise and add privacy?
Thank you for these great videos!
I have several large Camilla japonica the pink perfection they are great plus many others here in Pensacola f in shade!!! THANKS JENNY FOR YOUR GREAT INFO !!!❤️
I'm excited to watch mine grow and mature. Thanks for sharing!!!
Great Info, thank you Jenny 😊! I'm in Zone 6-ish, Paris suburbs, France and have 2 Camellia Japonicas on the Northeast corner foundation of the house. I noticed yesterday that my White has buds. The Red (freedom bell?), is about 21 years old and gets a few hours more of morning sun and is more robust. About 3 years ago I severely pruned a large branch and it just popped out some new branches below and above the cut. I didn't go see if she's budding or not but usually does anytime between December and April. So far, our December is mild, no hard freezes.
Thanks Jenny! This was so informative. I'll buy the pretty white one that I saw a Lowes. I still would like a She She Camellia one day.
Jenny you always make things so easy in explaining every detail on the plants thats what i really like!
Thank you. This was very detailed and helpful.
Hi Jenny, could you give me a an update on Clematis, which ones we cut back and which ones not to cut back. I have no clue what kind they are, how to identify .?
Thanks so much, Jenny! I had pen and paper taking notes. Very good explanation. ❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
I would love to learn more about conifers in the south. I’m in Greenville/Spartanburg (Greer). I have a “Sester’s blue spruce”. This was my first pick because it stays smaller. The next I want is something that flows like an Alaskan Cedar but I can’t find a dwarf.
Thanks Jenny. 🌲💚🙃
You’re welcome!
Great information, i was in 6b and now it's 7a. Im hoping i can afford at least one this early spring. They are so beautiful. Thank you Jenny. I love the Ask Jenny video's, you do a fantastic top explaining the all the different plants that people want to know about.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great tutorial! I have had trouble keeping Camelias alive. I would love a tutorial on composting, in particular, with pine shavings from floor of our coop. Since you have chickens, I thought you might have some tips.
I would be interested in a video on cherry trees. We are in new home and the tree has been budded for at least a few months now but lost all its leaves I think by June last summer. Debating whether to remove
This was so informative. Thank you so much.
I am really enjoying these in depth focused videos. Thank you
Glad you like them!
Great new segment for gardeners. My question involves a new pest to my Northern garden , Jumping worms ! They are spreading fast in my area and I need to know how to deal with them. Any suggestions?
Jenny, how far from my new construction home foundation should I plant my 2 quart Camellia? This video is EXCELLENT!!
It depends on what the mature size of the camellia will be. Take the mature width, divide it in half, and then add 2’ to it. That way at mature size the camellia will be 2’ away from your house.
Enjoying this series! My Autumn Sentinel Sasanqua is blooming at the moment! I have both types in my garden! 🥰 I will hopefully take better care of them now! Thanks for the great info Jenny! 🌸🌸🌸
Love the information and is helpful. Just wondering when is best time to move a camellia. If possible how about all the information for Rhododendrons. Thanks.
I think I have the Japonica. We get buds in Nov but they don't bloom till feb
I think that I might be ordering Jerry Hill this spring, it’s a beauty ! 🌲💚🙃 zone 6a so I don’t have too many choices available to me. 🌲💚🙃
Hi Jenny. I love your videos and have learned so much from you. I could really use your suggestions for what to plant in the shade under my maple tree where I can't get grass to grow anymore. We have been spreading pine straw but I would love to have it look more intentional and help control soil erosion. I am in zone 8a, the shade canopy is about 30' in diameter, the soil is hard-packed red clay and it's located in my front yard on about a 15-degree slope toward the street. I would like to have a large area of perennial ground cover and a drift of smaller (2'-3' tall) perennial plants for interest. The tree roots are close to the surface in some areas and I'm concerned about doing anything to disturb the health of the tree by digging or amending the soil. Any suggestions and advice would be appreciated very much!
Can you please give us the update on the Phantom Hydrangeas hedge that you planted not long ago? and updates on the black lace elderberry as well? Thank you very much
Any advice on improving the variegation leaf contrast/color of camellias? Love CamForest; it’s where I got Kerguelen (yello and green leaf variegation). NurCar (Nurseries Carolina) also has interesting camellias (like Koshi-no-fubuki, stunning white and green leaf variegation).
I loved this video. Question: will you mulch right over the leaves? ☺️
The leaves are mulch. Jenny mentions that she doesn't bother cleaning them up for the aesthetics (keeping the area looking woodsy and natural) and the leaves perform the same function as the traditional bark mulch, water retention, and soil temp. and frost protection.
Mulch can be any material as long as it enriches and insulates the soil, therefore it's a personal preference. You can leave them or remove them and use bark mulch or you can mix in the bark mulch with some leaves. Either option is getting the overall objective accomplished: providing organic matter for the earthworms and other creepy crawlers to eat and break down, get full, and poop which is full of lots of goodies that feed the soil which feeds our plants.
CHEERS! 🍻 HAPPY GARDENING FRIEND. ⚘️🪻🌷🌻
I think I need to go out and check the one camellia I have so far, to make sure it’s doing okay. I planted it a couple of months before the arctic blast we got last winter and it survived so I’m thinking it should be okay but we’ve been getting quite a bit of rain this year when normally it’s snow so I’m hoping it’s not too wet. 🌲💚🙃
Hi Jenny, Terry here in Ga zone 7b, can you take a Camelia bush that has grown to a tree and make it back into a bush? It doe have some sprigs growing and bottom but not enough to trim the top.
I was so glad to see this video. I bought a japonica "Professor Sargent" from you in December 2020. I planted it and the next year I got buds but they all turned brown and fell off. I had it in full sun and you told me to move it to a shadier spot. I moved it to a spot that only gets some morning sun and then it is in shade for the afternoon. Now I have tons of buds and they are not turning brown. Yippee!! Can't wait to see it bloom in a few months. Thanks for your advice. My gardens thrive because of your knowledge.
Question: can you do a segment on Coffee Cups? I bought one from you this Spring and it was beautiful. When the frost zapped it this fall, I cut all the foliage down to the ground. Now where I cut it, it is all mushy. Do you think I killed it?
I just adore you friend 💗. Glad to hear that Professor Sargent is behaving himself better this winter! You did exactly what you should do for your Coffee Cups. Just wait patiently until the heat of late spring hits and you should see new growth popping up. The only thing you might want to consider doing is to make sure that you have a nice layer of mulch around the roots so as to add plenty of insulation during the next 2 months.
Jenny, how do you determine the pattern to lay out your drip irrigation like in your shady redbud bed when nothing is in a straight line? I hope that makes sense.
My question is how or what would you plant in a container that is south facing under an arch that is part of a portico. No drip only hose watering once or twice a week. Zone 9b
My sasanquas defoliated lots of leaves during the 7° freeze in Dec 2022 here in the N metro area of GA.
They haven't looked the same. Didn't rebound like I had hoped, and are still thin.😢
We had a similar issue here in 9a just north of Houston, Tx. I fertilized in the spring with a fabulous local organic pelletized fertilizer, MicroLife Azalea. The sasanquas are blooming beautifully despite the December 2022 freeze and the summer 2023 drought. We did water the camellias well during the drought. Our japonicas are covered with buds that will open mid January-mid March. Our main pest challenge is tea scale so we instituted a preemptive pest management program years ago. Your presentation was thorough and spot on!
They may just need more time. I’m in GA and my japonicas did the same. Lost all of the buds. Mine are quite large and were planted by previous owners. The age of the plant sometimes dictates how quickly they’ll rebound.
My Kramer Camellias is on the North Side of the house
Do you get sun on the north side so I will move them against the house, so it gets a little bit more protection now that you explain this
Thanks zone 8AB North Texas
Jenny,
What about the camellias grown for tea? 😊
Thanks, Jenny, that was great! I'm hoping to be able to plant a few of these, but I might be pushing it in zone 7a. I have a question about amending soil. Like you, I also have clay soil, plus a new construction home, so I've been trying to amend it as I go. Have you used gypsum to amend your clay soil in addition to compost and manure? I'd really like to push the envelope and use the maximum amount I can, without causing any problems. Could you make any recommendations if you have any experience with it please? Thanks, and Happy New Year!
@aruiz565 I too am in zone 7A Richmond VA and amended my clay with compost and a Lowes product named Claybreaker in an orange bag. It has gypsum in it plus what Jenny would call pine fines. My camellias are planted high and one is blooming right now.
And yes, it also says Soil Conditioner on the. bag.
@@ncallick4226 Thanks so much! I'll look for it!
Go Tigers!
Good information! I plan to purchase a japonica so I will contact Camilla Forest. I’m in 7B and want to insure that the blooms survive so I’ll also look at the zones. What’s the distance between your Camilla’s? Thank you for the ‘😊Ask Jenny “ segment.
What are your thoughts about trying to relocate a 17 year old sasanqua?
What are some public gardens to visit in the spring in North Carolina?
To see camellias
Jenny what is that plant climbing the tree behind you??
Go Tigers 🐅
I have buds on my Kramer’s Supreme camellia, but they aren’t opening, nor are they turning brown. They are doing nothing! What is going on?
It is a japonica, so just like my japonicas it isn't quite time for them to begin flowering. Just be patient and they will flower when the time is right. 😊
Where is Brenna for the last couple of videos.?
She’s here! She was in this video here and there 😊
🙋
Go Cats beat the Tigers today in the Gator Bowl!
Update: Cayuts gave it away at the end to Clemson
When i saw that one camellia with burn, I immediately thought possible dog urine? Is your german sheperd a boy or girl? Just a thought as my mom's german sheperd loves to pee on her most expensive plants lol..great video and helpful.
Brynna is a girl, and the burn is high up on the plant. 😊
Sooooo.....does anyone else have trouble remembering where the "i" & "e" go when spelling camellia? 🤔
Jenny as minhas camélias secaram todas... sendo que aqui no Brasil está muito quente... temperaturas de quase quarenta gruas, eu moro na região dos Lagos praia e aqui é muito quente.🌞☀️🌡
