 @120acc36 What a great idea. Where did you order it from?  I wonder if they grow up north? 
 @ebda5176 They'll be fine to grow up north, if you can grow other camellias, you'll be able to grow it. I ordered from the Plant Company. Shipping is horrible, but you maybe able to find it locally.

They grow beautifully in the Waikato. Zealong is just around the corner from here.
If you're ever in the area the tour is worth it - it'll even tell you how to process your leaves into the different flavours of tea.
