The Yuletide Camellia is hardy from USDA Zones 7-10. Plant in partial sun (3-4 hours of direct sun) or all-day filtered sun. Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. They perform best in rich, slightly acidic soil with good drainage. Fertilize yearly with a slow-release acidic plant fertilizer in spring. These 2.5 qt.
