camillia flowers

My Camellias bloom in November. As soon as they bloom the temperature drops and we get slight snow sometimes. Of course they get frost bite. How can I get my Camellias to bloom earlier?

Unfortunately, you can’t change the blooming time of the camellia you already have. But, you may be able to make your camellia more cold-resistant by making sure it’s in optimal health and taking a few protective measures, as described here:
