Description

Bring a little Christmas cheer to your garden over winter with this glorious flowering Camellia - we can't sing its praises enough!

Unlike many of the usual winter-flowering plants, Camellia 'Yuletide' will flower through Christmas and into early spring, with brilliantly coloured, red blooms, each with a glowing cluster of golden yellow stamens at the centre - really eye-catching and very distinctive.

Typically festive in sumptuous red and green, the luxurious flowers shine against the glossy leaves, making this compact shrub ideal as a Yule centrepiece in the garden - it can even be brought inside over Christmas in a pot as an unusual decoration, just remember to return it outside once the festivities are over.

More than able to bring winter interest to any garden border, you can even grow 'Yuletide' in a container, so even without a garden you can enjoy the magnificent display of flowers.

Fully hardy and easy to grow, there's no need to worry about complicated pruning, just snip off any branches that are dead, diseased or dying - so not only is this camellia easy on the eye, it’s easy to grow too!

Grow Yuletide in a sheltered, partially shaded position out of drying winds in a moist but well-drained, fertile soil which needs to be acid in nature - if planting in a pot, use ericaceous compost.

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.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.

2. Should any hardy plant fail to thrive thereafter, we'll replace free of charge - you just pay the P&P
