Description
Camellia 'Yuletide' (Camellia oleifera Syn. Sasanqua) is a beautiful evergreen shrub originating from China and Japan, prized for its vibrant red blooms with contrasting bright yellow stamens, creating a festive display from Autumn (Djeran) through Early Spring (Djilba). The single flowers add a splash of colour to shaded garden beds or potted displays, and its compact form makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or containers.
'Yuletide' prefers morning sun to full shade and thrives in well-drained, acidic soil. For best results, use a Camellia-specific potting mix and keep the soil moist during hot, dry weather to maintain healthy growth. Its hardy, low-maintenance nature makes it ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners in Perth, adding a touch of elegance and seasonal cheer.
