The nursery is in USA. I think to order the plant is very expensive. You may try to get seeds and germinate them. My seedling is 9 month old. It is 15cm tall. The stem diamater is 3mm.

    茶花。前一阵子做了一个coldframe, 想明年试试茶花。没有保护，大多地区没有办法过冬，所以户外种的人极少，据说本地也没有花店卖，最有可能是网上订。

我在这里的苗圃看到有Tea Rose在卖, 我原以为Tea Rose就是茶花, 所以想知道和camellia的区别.

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.

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

jlxu

Since thay are not hardy Camellia. They are just camellia japonica. I have to take them indoor when the temperature reach near 0 degree. I never feed them indoor. I only water them sparingly on top. In the picture, Camellia is at back on the windowsill.

If a cold frame is working for the camellia, I will perfer to put it outside.

i bought one camellia tree arround $80.00 in foody mart in Y2010 and there were over ten fragrant and very beautiful flowers opened.
