When To Plant

I have just bought a Camelia to go in the front garden where there is a space in the middle,
Would you put it in now or wait for the weather to get better, Good buy I thought from Aldi special offer at £5.25 about 18 in tall 12in spread with 5 buds on it, the label just says pink, I will have to wait for it to come into flower, and let you good people tell me its name

 

I would of thought that the best time would be to check the weather for frost and then plant it out any time from now until march:thmb: one thing to watch though is where your planting it as if they get too much sun early in the morning while it's still frosty the flower buds will be destroyed:(

 

Nathan, I would wait until the ground warms up again before planting.:gnthb: I would put money on the variety being Donation.:D

 

LOL isn't donation a really common variety?:hehe:

 

I too would wait until at the earliest April, I like that camelia although it isn`t my favourite.

 

Aesculus, you`ve spoilt it now. I was going to make a name for myself there.:lollol::lollol::lollol:

 

Sorry Dai:dh: although on the brightside there's probably not that much call for clairvoyance in the horticultural sector anyway:lollol::lollol::rotfl:

My tutors use that trick allot though especially on plants like Fuchsias & Penstemon LOL everytime I ask the name of a Penstemon in the borders at college I almost always get told that it's P. 'Garnet' although it could be almost any colour:hehe:

 

what do you expect from Aldi?

Donation is common because it's good and reliable!

 

I didn't mean it in derogatory way, I know donation is good and reliable cultivar:flag:

 

Many thanks will put pic on tomorrow to show ythe size etc. :thmb:

 

Enjoy the flowers first Donation is lovely,II would be afraid to disturb it in case the buds drop.Make sure it is well watered in Autumn when the buds are forming,

 

This is my Camelia that everyone is trying to name ? what do you think :thmb:
