I bought the seeds from ebay.com (USA site). I asked if the seller can ship them to Canada and I was will to pay more shipping fee. In USA, no one would buy seeds because you can get a one gallon pot of Camellia for $6.00.
You must buy the fresh seeds. I tried non-fresh seeds and get 0 germation rate. When I bought the fresh seeds, the description said they picked in Park near a red semi-double Camellia tree, I got 5/10 germination rate. Later 3 seedling were too weak and I lost one. I gave away two seedling. Now I have one is good and one is weak.
The treatment is that you need to use a nutcrack. Crack seeds lightly to remove shells. Be careful don't hurt the inside. Then soak them overnight.
I mix half perlite and half seedling mix in coconut shell pot. Bury them on the top of soil and spray them twice because I can't control myself seeing them many times a day. I got seedling between one week and two weeks.
There is a website you can read

Many thanks for the information! What's your plan to over winter them in the future? |
