Description
The perfect selection for a small garden or a tight spot, the October Magic Bride Camellia produces a profusion of pure white double flowers on an upright and dense conical form that fits nicely into smaller garden spaces. Very dark green foliage is a perfect backdrop for the white flowers.
Landscape & Garden Uses
A Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 4 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 6 feet wide (depending on pruning), October Magic Bride is ideal for use as specimen, in groupings, as a hedge or background plant, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Camellia gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
