Camellia Sasanqua 'Green 98-009' PP20506' is a fast and moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 7A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 6 feet to 8 feet and an average width of 3 feet to 4 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun and grows best when planted in loam or clay soil that is well drained. In the fall Rose October Magic Camellia produces pink, rose pink and salmon flowers. The foliage is dark green in color. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to deer, drought, insects, mildew and heat.
Rose October Magic Camellia can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in foundation plantings, as a buffer or screen, in containers or planters, as a background, in shrub borders, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, for topiary, as a focal point or in landscape beds or islands and also in theme gardens, cottage gardens or shade gardens.
Noteworthy Characteristics
From the Southern Living Plant Collection, Rose October Magic Camellia is fast becoming a staple for professional landscape designers. Bright, truly double, salmon-rose flowers against the glossy dark green foliage are simply stunning. It has a dense, upright, nearly columnar form so lends itself well to narrow situations or smaller garden spaces.
Uses
Because of it's narrow habit, Rose October Magic Camellia is highly useful in narrow spaces in home foundation plantings or to create colorful, evergreen hedges or screens where space is limited. It is perfect for use as espalier: trained to grow flat against a open wall and in large containers
Culture
Camellias prefer a fertile, moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. Your new camellia should not need regular watering after the first year unless there are extended periods of dry weather during summer. Camellias do best in partial shade or filtered sun. Avoid afternoon direct sun
