Nursery News
We currently have a great selection of Camellia sasanqua, japonica & hybrids/minatures in varying pot sizes (over 110 varieties to choose from).
With all the rain we have had over the summer months the stock is looking very lush and everything is flowering superbly. The Autumn flowering sasanquas are still in flower & with the onset of the cooler weather we are seeing many japonica varieites coming into flower.
As always, the earlier you get in, the more choice there will be available to you. Last year we ran out of many varieties within 3-6 months of release.
Also available at the moment are some excellent Magnolia 'litte gem', Gardenias & buxus.
Our 2012 batch of Azaleas are also available for sale. We have stock available in 200mm, 250mm & 300mm pots & as always the plants are looking fantastic.
Murraya Sale
$5 each
We're looking to move a batch of Murraya paniculata to give us some space – they're in 200mm pots and we're happy to sell them for $5 each.
Grafted Standards now available
We have a limited number of grafted Camellia sasanqua standards for sale – Marge Miller and Snow.
These plants are a very rare item and would make a feature in any garden.
They could either be grown in large pots or planted in the ground - as you see above in our display garden.
Average graft height is 2.2m (this is important as the plants will only grow out and down, not gaining any further height).
Price: 500mm pots - $500

Nursery history ...
Camellia Grove Nursery opened in 1939 in what was then the remote Sydney suburb of St Ives.
It was established by the late Professor E.G. Waterhouse, who won international recognition for his research with camellias.
Over the six decades the nursery was at St Ives, it earned a fine reputation not only for its quality plants, but as a tourist destination for people from all over the world.
At the end of 2004, the nursery moved to its present location at Glenorie in Sydney's north-west.
We hope you'll be able to visit us at Glenorie to make your choice. If not, rest assured that any selection you ask us to make will be of the utmost quality and suitability for your area.
Please take the time to read our notes on the cultural requirements for your new purchases as proper planting and after care of your plants will give you much pleasure when you are rewarded year after year with a wonderful garden in bloom.
How to use our Online Catalogue
Camellias are natives of China and Japan where they grow in a variety of microclimates. Whilst many varieties prefer to grow in semi-shade and bloom to perfection if direct morning winter sun is avoided, many varieties will tolerate a sunny position. Through hybridisation and careful research, camellias have been bred to adapt well to culture throughout Australia.
The importance of choosing the most suitable Camellia or Azalea for each position in your garden is sometimes difficult and to help overcome this dilemma we have simplified the catalogue by using the following identification symbols.
FULL SUN Varieties that can be grown in full sun.
SEMI-SHADE Varieties requiring semi-shade, no direct sun before 12pm on a winter's day (when flowering).
SHADE Varieties that can be grown in shade, but need some sun in summer to form buds.
MORNING SUN Varieties able to withstand morning sun in winter.
POTS Varieties suitable for growing in pots.
COASTAL Varieties whose blooms are sun hardy in coastal areas.
FRAGRANT Fragrant varieties.
