Description

October Magic Inspiration is one of our favorites in the October Magic Series. In fall, it produces an abundance of gorgeous, large white flowers some of which have a distinct, narrow, magenta-pink margins on ruffled petals. Prominent, golden stamens enhance the appeal of the flowers. The evergreen leaves are deep green through the year however new foliage in spring is maroon.

Landscape & Garden Uses

A smaller growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 5 to 8 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide (depending on pruning), October Magic Inspiration can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, in groupings, or as a specimen and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small evergreen tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia 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: 3.5 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet 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.

I love the October Magic Inspiration Camellia!
The camellia arrived (about a month ago) in a great condition and a size larger than expected. Since, it has been growing nicely with a lot of buds. The packing was excellent, with all necessary instructions included. The delivery was fast.
This is the third camellia which I have ordered from this place. And it is my third one because the the other two which I bought year and a half ago are doing great!
