Camellia sasanqua 'Yuletide'
With holidays in full swing, I though it would be fun to take a look at one of my favorite Sasanqua Camellias - 'Yuletide'A super versatile shrub that is easy to care for. With their red flowers and bright yellow stamens that can last for 2 or more months (from October - December), this plant can be treated as a speciman in your yard or patio. Like all sasanqua camellias, it will thrive in full sun as well as shade. Makes a good hedge and container plant.
USDA Zones 7-10
Full sun to partial shade
Acidic and well drained
Needs regular water
Evergreen shrub with a compact habit
2-5 feet (m) tall and wide
An abundance of single brilliant red flowers with bright yellow stamens

Gorgeous plant Hillary. We have one of these in our garden as well because both my wife and I love camellias. We saw it at a local nursery and realised we didn't have one so spontaenously grabbed it and it's becoming a centrepiece of one of our gardening beds.
I loved your poinsettia post as well btw.
Hi Stuart,
Aren't camellias the best? They look good even when not flowering, but when they do show their blooms, they are gorgeous.
Thanks for the feedback!
