Sasanqua October Magic Crimson ‘N Clover

October Magic Crimson 'N Clover Camellia

Camellia sasanqua October Magic® Crimson ‘N Clover’ is a standout evergreen shrub known for its vivid crimson-red flowers that bloom in fall and early winter. The richly colored, semi-double blooms create bold contrast against glossy, dark green foliage, adding dramatic seasonal interest when many landscapes lack color. Its naturally compact, upright growth habit makes it especially well-suited for hedges, foundation plantings, or as a striking focal point.

Part of the proven October Magic® series, ‘N Clover’ was selected for improved cold hardiness, disease resistance, and dependable performance. This sasanqua camellia tolerates more sun than traditional camellias and adapts easily to a range of landscape styles. With year-round foliage, manageable size, and reliable flowering, it offers beauty and structure with minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for both home gardens and commercial plantings.
