October is a month that is often associated with a little touch of magic. The transformation of nature is perhaps the greatest magic of all during this time of year. The leaves change their colors and fall from the trees, blanketing the ground with vibrant hues of orange, red, and yellow. The brisk air brings with it an enchanting feeling, hinting at the arrival of the holiday season. October also brings with it a sense of mystery. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, there is a certain allure to the darkness that descends upon the world.
In warmer areas fall is much less of an event than in the north. The number of trees turning color is far fewer, but there is one thing that makes fall and early winter special in warmer zones, and that is the arrival of the fall-blooming camellias. These lovely evergreens burst into flower just when the garden is beginning to rest, but many of them grow into large bushes – too large for the modern small garden, courtyard or patio.
The October Magic Ruby Camellia is a breakthrough in camellias, featuring bright red double flowers for months over fall and early winter, on a small bush that fits into today s smaller gardens, into those small spots in any garden, or in pots and planters. In colder areas you can bring those pots indoors in early fall, enjoy the blooms inside, and keep your plants there until warmer weather returns in spring.
As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, there is a certain allure to the darkness that descends upon the world. Halloween is a perfect example of this. It is a time when people embrace the spooky and supernatural, allowing themselves to be transported to a realm of witches, ghosts, and ghouls.

The October Magic Ruby Camellia is a breakthrough in camellias, featuring bright red double flowers for months over fall and early winter, on a small bush that fits into today’s smaller gardens, into those small spots in any garden, or in pots and planters. This evergreen bush has handsome, glossy, dark-green leaves, and in fall through into early winter it bursts into bloom with 2 to 3-inch flowers of many petals, in a rich ‘Christmas’ red color. These are born in profusion, even on very young plants, and as the buds open in succession, the blooming just goes on and on. This bush will stay about 4 feet tall, and a little wider, so it doesn’t take up lots of space, but it delivers lots of colorful beauty, exactly when you need it most.
- Gorgeous rich red double blooms all through fall
- broad and low, for smaller spaces and gardens
- beautiful evergreen glossy foliage
- Ideal size for pots, planters and sun-rooms

The October Magic Ruby Camellia grows best in partial shade, either as morning sun and afternoon shade, the shade from a north-facing wall, or in the dappled shade beneath deciduous trees. It should be grown in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic material, and the soil should have a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. If you don’t have suitable soil, this is not a problem, as this compact plant grows very well in a pot, using potting mixture for acid-loving plants. Feed as recommended with a liquid camellia fertilizer. This plant has no significant pests or diseases and it is easy to grow, vigorous, and a reliable bloomer from an early age.
