Camellia sasanqua ‘Green 02-004’ PP27553
October Magic® White Shi Shi™ Camellia offers double white autumn flowers against evergreen camellia foliage, bringing distinctive seasonal color and texture to the home garden. Its compact spreading evergreen habit provides a useful shape for borders, foundation beds, or specimen plantings when given enough space to mature.
This selection works best when planted for its mature form rather than its current nursery-container size. Pair with shrubs and perennials that share its soil and exposure needs, and place it where the flowers or foliage can be enjoyed throughout the season.
Why Gardeners Love October Magic® White Shi Shi™ Camellia

Where to Plant October Magic® White Shi Shi™ Camellia
Choose filtered sun in acidic, well-drained soil. Leave room for the natural spread and avoid planting where the roots remain waterlogged. Consider how its foliage and flowers will contrast with neighboring plants and protect new transplants from extreme drying winds.
Growing and Care Tips
Water thoroughly after planting and monitor soil moisture during establishment. Apply a modest mulch layer to conserve moisture while keeping it away from stems. Adjust irrigation to local rainfall and heat; roots need both moisture and oxygen to remain healthy.
Its main ornamental season is autumn. Remove damaged or crossing branches as needed, and time shaping around the flowering cycle. Avoid heavy pruning when flower buds have already formed. Allow the natural branching habit to guide routine maintenance.
