Learning how to grow camellias in pots is a surefire way to add color, structure and evergreen interest to your container displays. Whether you have a small yard or a large plot, growing camellias in pots will transform any space with their glossy green foliage and large romantic blooms.

When considering how to grow these popular shrubs, many species are relatively cold hardy, with some even tolerating winter temperatures down to 15°C/5°F. In northern, cooler regions, where winters can be long and cold, the evergreen camellia can help to maintain interest when all else is dormant.
