Reviews for "October Magic Camellias: Nature's Gift for the Autumn Season"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "October Magic Camellias". The plants I received were small and poorly packed, some of them were even damaged upon arrival. Additionally, the instructions provided were unclear and it was difficult to properly care for the plants. Overall, I found the purchasing experience to be unsatisfactory and would not recommend this product.
2. John - 1/5 stars - The "October Magic Camellias" were a complete waste of money. I followed the planting and care instructions diligently, but none of the plants survived. They started to wither and die within a few weeks of planting, despite providing them with proper care. I've had success with other camellias in the past, so I know it's not due to a lack of gardening knowledge. I'm extremely disappointed and will not be purchasing from this brand again.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - My experience with "October Magic Camellias" was less than satisfactory. The plants I received were much smaller than expected and took a long time to establish and bloom. The flowers that did eventually appear were not as vibrant or full as depicted in the product images. While I appreciate the effort put into breeding these camellias for October blooms, the end result fell short of my expectations.
