Description

Bring some Christmas cheer to your winter garden with this glorious flowering Camellia!

Camellia 'Yuletide' flowers through Christmas and into early spring, producing richly coloured red blooms, each with a glowing cluster of golden-yellow stamens at its centre. It's an eye-catching combination that deserves a place where you can enjoy it close up.

Dressed in festive red and green, the sumptuous flowers stand out against glossy leaves, making this compact shrub a lovely Christmas centrepiece outdoors. A potted plant can even come indoors briefly as an unusual festive decoration, before returning outside.

'Yuletide' brings welcome winter interest to garden borders and grows beautifully in a container too. Even without a garden, you can enjoy its magnificent flowers on a patio or terrace.

Fully hardy and easy to grow, it needs no complicated pruning. Simply remove any dead, diseased or dying branches to keep it looking its best. A shrub that's as enjoyable to grow as it is to admire!

Choose a sheltered, partially shaded position away from drying winds. Plant in fertile, moist but well-drained acidic soil, or use ericaceous compost when growing in a pot.

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

Top Tips
Early morning sun will damage frost-covered buds, so be sure to plant in dappled shade where the sun doesn't get to the plant until late morning.
Care Information
  • 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.
