🌺 The Scarlet Temptation of December! Best Time and Places to See Camellias in Korea


The Camellia flower is a sight of vibrant red against the winter chill, a bloom that becomes even more striking in the cold. Its unique habit of dropping its entire flower head, not just petals, marks the height of its splendor—the most romantic scenery winter has to offer.

📅 Camellia Blooming Season: Overview (Peak in December)

The start of the Camellia blooming season varies slightly depending on the temperature of the region. They typically begin to flower in the warmer southern provinces, and December is the best time to enjoy the early winter blooms.

Region Start of Bloom Peak Bloom (Climax) Main Varieties
Jeju Island (Earliest) Mid-November ~ Early December Late December ~ January Camellia parviflora, Native Camellia
Southern Coast (Geoje, Yeosu) Early ~ Mid-December January ~ February Native Camellia
Western Coast (Seocheon) Late December ~ Early January February ~ March Native Camellia


📌 Key Tip: If you want to see lush, beautiful Camellias in December, it is best to visit the regions that bloom first, such as Jeju Island and the southern parts of Geoje Island. Visiting on a snowy day offers the romantic scene of “Snow White, Red Flower” (雪白紅花)!
