Description

Simply stunning from the time it starts flowering in early fall and continuing through mid-winter, October Magic Pink Perplexion Camellia produces LOADS of truly double, gorgeous soft to true-pink flowers against a backdrop of glossy, rich green foliage. One of our favorites in the October Magic series and we think it’ll be one of yours as well!

Landscape & Garden Uses

A smaller growing Camellia with a sprawling, mounding growth habit, it grows to about 4-5 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide (depending on pruning), October Magic Pink Perplexion is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, as a hedge or background plant, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. Great for cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where not winter hardy.

Spacing: 3′ for solid hedge; 6’+ 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 have ordered several plants from Wilson Bros and they arrive in unbelievable condition just as if they had been bought at a local nursery The difference is that I am able to purchase plants that are not available at our local nurseries. But that is not the only thing that sets this company apart. I have communicated with them several times to ask questions and get information and I always get a friendly answer almost immediately. I have even received a phone call when an order was questionable. Wilson Bros is a #1 nursery in my book!!————————————————————————————–Hi Erla, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the October Magic Pink Perplexion Camellia.
