Joseph's Take
Yuletide always makes me think about Santa, its flowers are truly Santa red. It usually blooms in November and is very full in terms of its leaf structure and amount of flowers. Yuletide blooms like crazy! One of my favorite Camellias for sure.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer fall planting with 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.
