Camellia vernalis 'Yuletide'

Bring a little Christmas cheer to your garden over winter with this glorious flowering Camellia - we can't sing its praises enough!

Unlike many of the usual winter-flowering plants, Camellia 'Yuletide' will flower through Christmas and into early spring, with brilliant red blooms, each with a glowing cluster of golden yellow stamens at the centre - really eye-catching and very distinctive.

The luxurious and festive flowers shine against the glossy foliage, making this compact shrub ideal as a Yule centrepiece in the garden - it can even be brought inside over Christmas in a pot as an unusual decoration, just remember to return it outside once the festivities are over.

More than able to bring winter interest to any garden border, you can even grow 'Yuletide' in a container, so even without a garden you can enjoy the magnificent display of flowers. Fully hardy and easy to grow, position it in a sheltered, partially shaded spot in the garden away from drying winds. 

Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, ready to plant out.

Top Tips

Care Guide

• To prevent damage to the buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun.
• Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop, especially in the summer months when the buds are forming out of sight.
• Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June and mulch annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould.
• After flowering, lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.
