About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia sasanqua 'October Magic Ruby' is an evergreen fall-blooming camellia selected for its rich ruby-red flowers and compact ornamental habit. As a sasanqua type, it is valued for earlier flowering than many japonicas, glossy dark green foliage, and suitability for hedges, foundation plantings, and specimen use. The blooms are typically showy red with a semi-double appearance and visible golden stamens, giving the plant a bright, elegant display in the early camellia season.
