Evergreen Flowering Bush for Fall
Elevate your outdoor space with the exquisite charm of the October Magic Rose Camellia! Boasting a unique and elegant upright form, this columnar shrub adds a touch of sophistication to any landscape. Whether used as a privacy hedge or planted in a mixed bed, its presence creates an ambiance that enhances your garden's overall aesthetic.
While many other flowers fade in the fall, the October Magic Rose Camellia makes a special appearance with clusters of salmon-pink blooms. And because the Camellia is evergreen, you'll still enjoy year-round foliage after the flowers fade!
Not only is the October Magic Rose Camellia a visual delight, but it's also a breeze to grow and maintain. Once established, this drought-tolerant shrub requires minimal upkeep, making it an ideal choice for busy gardeners. Plus, its resistance to deer, diseases, heat, and salt further enhances its appeal, while its ability to thrive in both full sun and part shade offers flexibility in placement!
So say goodbye to dormant periods—this resilient shrub keeps your landscape alive and vibrant all year long.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant in an area avoiding extreme temperatures and opt for part-sun to part-shade for optimal blooms. Ensure the soil is acidic, moist, and well-drained.
2. Watering: When newly planted, ensure deep watering at least twice weekly. Watering needs will decrease as the plant matures and provides shade for its own roots.
3. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer during the spring season.
4. Pruning: If necessary, prune during late winter or early spring to eliminate dead or dying branches.
