San Diego has become a city of urban living making it difficult for some to have gardens. One of the best ways to have your garden without a yard is to grow your plants in containers. Containers are perfect for patios, balconies, decks, porches and courtyards.

According to Dean Turney (San Diego Camellia Society), Camellias are the perfect plant. There is an article all about this in last Sunday’s Union Tribune (February 14, 2010, Home Section, H1). These are just a few of the attributes he points out:

• Slow growing
• Some varieties are compact/trailing
• Enjoy filtered sunlight or semi-shade
• Over 3000 varieties

Colors: white, red, pink & multi-colored

If you require lighting for these beautiful container plants, visit our Tidbits page and browse for string lights.
