October Magic® Orchid Camellia

Camellia sasanqua 'Green 94-035' PP20465

This compact evergreen shrub delights with semi-double, orchid-pink blooms accented by golden stamens, appearing from fall into early winter when few other plants are in flower. Glossy, dark green foliage provides year-round interest, while its naturally upright, dense form makes it ideal for hedges, borders, or containers. Low-maintenance and long-lived, ‘Orchid™’ is part of the October Magic® series, bred for reliable performance and exceptional beauty in smaller garden spaces.
