I know, I prefer native plants but, Camelia's typically grow well in our yard of red clay and pine trees. I bought 2 nice specimens from a local Camelia only nursery and they died within 3 months. Thoughts?

Lately in the South lack of water is a problem for new plants due to the drought. We think they are getting enough, but new plants don't have the root growth to compete with the trees.
Camellias like moist well drained soil (like most everything).
