Please note: Images on our website depict plants and trees at full maturity to showcase their expected grown characteristics. These images are illustrative examples only and do not represent the size of plants or trees upon delivery.

Pruning: To maintain its dense, bushy form, prune the Yuletide Camellia after its flowering season. This not only helps shape the plant but also encourages a richer bloom in the subsequent season.

Fertilization: Feed with an acidic fertilizer after the bloom cycle, ensuring the plant gets the nutrients it needs for robust growth and flowering.

Winter Protection: While hardy in its grow zones, it's prudent to shield the Yuletide Camellia from harsh winter winds. Mulching at its base provides added protection against sudden temperature drops.


When planting the Yuletide Camellia, select a spot with well-draining, acidic soil and partial sunlight exposure. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and of equal depth. Gently remove the camellia from its container, teasing out compacted roots. Position the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Refill the hole, firming the soil to eliminate air pockets, and water deeply. Mulching around the base aids in retaining moisture and stabilizing soil temperatures but keep the mulch from direct stem contact.




The Yuletide Camellia prefers consistently moist soil and partial shade conditions. While it can endure partial sun, protection from harsh afternoon sunlight ensures its vibrant blooms remain unscathed. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, helps maintain its lush appearance.
