    What's the best time to move an established Camellia? It's in flower at the moment.

    Thanks!

    I think camellias can be moved at almost any time of the year but normally I would wait until the flowers have dropped. The usual rules apply -- get as much of the root ball as possible, stake it firmly, and most importantly water it for the next 6 months or more - even if we have a wet summer water it regularly and don't feed it.

    You could buy some ericaceous compost to help it settle into its new hole. It will thank you for it.
