Nursery contributed plant descriptions

October Magic® Orchid Sasanqua Camellia is "Fast becoming a staple for landscape designers due to the dense, semi-dwarf nature and ability to bloom profusely over a long season each Fall. The buds form so heavily in summer, that little pruning is needed thereafter. Flowers are a high semi-double with varying tones of white and orchid pink." - Bobby Green.A Southern Living Plant Collection introduction from the breeding work of Bobby Green and Green Nurseries.
