I have just 'inherited' two Camellias in pots. They have lots of buds on and look very healthy. I was told that the lady who owned them has had them several years.
Also my next door neighbour has one in a pot and one in the garden and they both flower well.
It shouldn't be too much of a problem for flowering if kept in a pot as long as it's well drained, watered and fed.
My camellia's have all been in the ground, they do seem to grow very, very deep roots eventually as they grow (as I found when I had to dig one up this year) - so it really depends if she wants to keep it in one place (planted), or move it somewhere else eventually (potted)?

This is a good link for basic info, hope it helps:

Thanks for your answers,I'm sure they'll help....
She should never be queen though !!

My camellia was in a pot in the garden and looked beautiful and flowered every year but then one year it was stolen. I never replaced it. They look stunning when in full bloom.
How does it flower? If it seems happy and it is not too big then just give it a nice feed at the right time and enjoy .It is not fully hardy in the UK and it would be a risk outside
