Is it too late to plant?

Hi there, I'm relatively new to camellias, I purchased one at the home depot last year and it made it through the winter, however it had severe dieback ( it's now a twig) which I blame for planting in practically December and forgetting to water when it's not freezing out- my zone is about 6b-7a, we hardly go down below ten degrees, and I know there are lot's of hybrids that have proven their hardiness, the one I planted was supposedly Winter's Interlude, though I was skeptical as it blooms looked different than what's posted on the internet. Whatever, it really doesn't matter there. Anyway, I was wondering if it was too late to plant one of the fall blooming camellias, like order one from Camforest, or would a spring blooming be better since it's not going to put any effort to bloom this fall/winter? Or should I just skip it all together and plant next year in the spring?

Thanks,

Max
