Camellia Yuletide

Yuletide Camellia Plant

The Yuletide Camellia plant is an evergreen shrub that produces showy, single, bright red flowers from winter through spring. The flowers have a centre of prominent, golden stamens. The foliage is glossy, dark green, and quite appealing in its own right. It grows relatively compactly to about 2.5 m tall and 2 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is tolerant of cool and humid climates as well as moderate frost once established. The Yuletide Camellia plant is commonly grown as specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is also well suited to being maintained in a container. For hedging space plants 50 cm apart.
