Camellia 'Yuletide'

Camellia sasanqua 'Yuletide' is a beloved evergreen shrub known for its festive and eye-catching blooms that appear right around the holiday season—hence the name. This cultivar features brilliant single red flowers with a central cluster of bright golden-yellow stamens, creating a bold, cheerful contrast against its deep green, glossy foliage. Blooming from late fall into winter, 'Yuletide' brings vibrant color and seasonal interest to the garden when few other plants are in flower, making it a popular choice for holiday landscapes and winter gardens.

'Yuletide' typically grows in a dense, upright form, reaching about 6 to 10 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide, though it can be pruned to maintain a smaller shape or used in espalier designs. It thrives in part shade to full sun, especially in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and benefits from some protection from intense afternoon sunlight or strong winds. Whether used as a hedge, specimen plant, or in containers, 'Yuletide' offers a burst of color and classic elegance during the quieter months of the year.
