Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
Yuletide Camellia
Camellia sasanqua 'Yuletide'
If you want red flowers in your landscape during the holiday season, Yuletide Camellia is the one for you! This fall through winter bloomer has single, vibrant, deep cherry red flowers and lustrous dark green foliage. Great to add a pop of color in a darker areas, since it performs best in dappled shade. A good companion camellia is Long Island Pink Camellia as their leaf structure and growth habit is very similar.
