Camellia sasanqua October Magic® Bride
A profuse bloomer at an early age
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.
October Magic®️ Bride is a tight and compact, yet upright shrub that will eventually form a large flowering shrub after 10 plus years. The crisp white blooms contrast well against the deep, shiny green leaves for a stunning effect. No browning as they age, flowers remain clean and clear white until they are spent. This is the perfect plant for smaller gardens and large, outdoor containers.
