Description
Camellia Japonica 'Black Magic' is a striking evergreen shrub, perfect for Australian gardens. This variety is prized for its large, velvety, dark red to almost black flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring, providing a stunning contrast against its glossy, dark green leaves.
It thrives in cooler climates of southern Australia but can also do well in milder regions with the right care. Plant it in well-drained, slightly acidic soil in a semi-shaded position, away from harsh afternoon sun. ‘Black Magic’ is drought-tolerant once established, though it prefers regular watering, especially in hotter months. It also makes a beautiful hedge or specimen plant.
Regular mulching and feeding in spring will help maintain healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
