Camellia - Yuletide 200mm Pot

Camellia x vernalis

Description of plant at maturity:
An early flowering Camellia bearing abundant, small, bright red, single flowers with prominent golden yellow stamens on a dense, upright bush.

An evergreen, closely related to C. sasanqua, growing to approx. 3m with small, dense, bright green foliage. Abundant, showy flowers are produced in autumn and early winter. Ideal for screens, hedging, large containers and espaliers.

Plant in a morning sun or partly shaded position. Protect from strong winds. Can be planted under large trees. Dense shade restricts flowering.

Prefers well drained, slightly acidic soil. Before planting, combine soil with organic matter for best results. Keep moist, especially in hot, dry weather. Mulch with compost, leaf mould or other organic matter to keep roots cool. Do not allow mulch to tough the trunk. May be lightly trimmed to shape in spring. Feed in spring with a camellia fertiliser or a complete organic fertiliser. Avoid lime.

Position: Part shade
