One consolation of living in such a warm climate is the presence of winter blooms, and 'Yuletide' is about as festive as they come! This classic Camellia flowers from October clear through January in most areas, "decorating" your property for Christmas more beautifully than any man-made ornament could. Quite floriferous, this upright plant is a pleasure you should not be denied.The plant reaches 8 to 10 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide over a 15-year period, with good branching and attractively smooth stems. Very easy to grow, it really shows off in acid soils alongside its traditional companion, Rhododendron. A garden classic! Zones 7-9.
