Camellia sasanqua 'Green 08-052' PP30386

October Magic® Crimson N' Clover™ Camellia showcases authentic crimson blooms maintaining vibrant color saturation across an impressive 8–9 week display window spanning fall through winter months. This vigorous sasanqua cultivar achieves approximately 10 feet in height, positioning itself among the most rapidly establishing camellia selections. Emerging foliage displays distinctive reddish undertones that complement the mature dark-green leaf canopy, creating refined chromatic layering throughout the growing season. Its remarkable sun adaptability and reliable performance in well-draining soil render it exceptionally valuable for gardeners seeking commanding winter color and extended seasonal interest across diverse light exposures without demanding specialized cultural protocols.

October Magic® Crimson N' Clover™ Camellia requires well-draining soil conditions and measured watering practices—overwatering presents greater establishment risk than periodic moisture stress. In clay-predominant soils, incorporating pine bark or comparable organic soil amendments substantially improves drainage and root health. This soil preparation approach proves equally beneficial for companion acid-loving ornamentals including rhododendrons, azaleas, and mountain laurels, establishing optimal growing conditions that support sustained vigor and reliable long-term performance across diverse landscape applications.

Remember that all fall blooming or Camellia sasanqua can grow in either sun or shade while the spring blooming Camellia japonica needs at least afternoon shade.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
