camellias

17 years ago

I would like to plant camellia(s)on the west side of my home, on the northwest corner. The sun doesn't hit the location til about 2pm this time of year. What are my chances and what are the best varieties for this setting? I currently have azaleas growing there without any problem. The 'soil' is mostly rock which I amend with underlying clay so I don't think that ph is a problem.
