{"product_id":"october-magic-orchid-camellia","title":"October Magic® Orchid™ Camellia","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWhile most shrubs are calling it a season, October Magic® Orchid Camellia is just getting started. This sasanqua camellia blooms from fall through early winter, producing semi-double flowers in a soft orchid-lavender pink — a refined, uncommon color in the camellia world that stands out beautifully against its deep, glossy evergreen foliage. It fills a genuine gap in the landscape calendar, bringing fresh color and interest at precisely the time of year when the garden needs it most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOutside of bloom season, October Magic® Orchid earns its keep as a handsome, dense evergreen shrub with a naturally tidy, compact habit that requires little maintenance to look its best. Bred with improved cold hardiness, it performs reliably in climates where traditional camellias can be hit or miss, making it a more accessible choice for gardeners who have always wanted to grow these beautiful shrubs but weren't sure they could.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSoft orchid-lavender pink semi-double blooms — a distinctive and elegant fall color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlooms fall through early winter when little else is flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDense, glossy evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNaturally compact habit; minimal pruning required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eImproved cold hardiness beyond traditional camellia growing regions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAttracts late-season pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDeer resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eExcellent as a specimen, hedge, foundation planting, or container shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA Zones 7–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–6 ft. tall, 3–5 ft. wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade; afternoon shade preferred in hottest climates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, humus-rich, acidic, well-drained; pH 5.5–6.5 preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; consistent moisture important especially during establishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed with an acid-forming fertilizer in spring and mulch well to retain moisture and maintain soil acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The GreenHouse","offers":[{"title":"#1","offer_id":49276601827556,"sku":"51215A","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/5352\/files\/Camellia_October_Magic_Orchid_Close-600x660-1_LE_upscale_gentle_x2_990e4357-d247-4561-a57d-dd0fbdb79798.jpg?v=1783039212","url":"https:\/\/www.thegreenhousepnw.com\/products\/october-magic-orchid-camellia","provider":"The Greenhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
