Southern Living October Magic Rose Camellia Live Shrub in 2.5-Quart Grower Pot

October Magic® Rose Camellia adds a rich burst of color to the fall landscape with its abundant rose-pink, fully double blooms. This elegant evergreen shrub features glossy, dark green foliage and a naturally compact, upright growth habit. Blooming in mid to late fall, it provides vibrant seasonal interest just as other plants begin to fade. Bred for improved disease resistance and cold tolerance, this variety is easy to maintain and performs well in a variety of Southern landscapes. Whether used in borders, foundation beds, or containers, October Magic Rose brings timeless beauty and structure to the garden. When planting this shrub, dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix rich garden soil in with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball 1/2 inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil. Use a slow release granular fertilizer in Spring. Not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival.
