Camellia sasanqua October Magic® Dawn
Camellia sasanqua is a fall blooming species. Some of these new selections have proven hardy in USDA Zone 6, but we are saying zone 7 to be safe. As summer fades and the nights begin to cool, the October Magic™ Series usher in the camellia season in beautiful fashion. Graceful in form and one of the loveliest of autumn flowers, the soft fragrance of sasanquas conjure up memories of southern gardens amass with blooms. These new selections offer all of the nuances we’ve grown to love in sasanquas and then some. There’s a shape, size and color to fit any garden. Incredibly large flowers are not normal for this species, but Dawn has broken the mold. Girly pink and porcelain-like in nature, these are the ultimate tribute for a newly born baby girl. Plant Dawn in her honor and she will grace you with her huge, soft pink flowers for many years to come.
