It’s Camellia Season!

The aristocrats of the flower world are beginning to bloom, and we at Swansons are thrilled to offer an exceptional selection. Our high quality plants are currently blooming with color or have large buds that will open soon.

Camellias are happiest when grown in a location that has some protection from the hot afternoon sun. They are drought tolerant, very easy to grow, and they even attract hummingbirds!
