Features

Characteristics

Plant Needs

The October Magic® White Shi-Shi™ Camellia is a refined evergreen shrub chosen for its bushy, spreading habit reminiscent of the beloved ShiShi Gashira. Unlike its pink cousin, this selection dazzles with porcelain-white, formal double blooms that appear in abundance from late fall through winter, when few other shrubs are in flower. Growing 3–4 feet tall and wide, it forms a dense, compact mound of glossy foliage, offering year-round structure with a long seasonal bloom show.

Why We Love It

At Creekside, we love shrubs that bring color and life to the quiet months, and White Shi-Shi does it beautifully. Its extended bloom season brightens the fall and winter garden with crisp white flowers that glow against glossy evergreen foliage. Combine that with excellent heat tolerance, resistance to pests and disease, and a spreading habit perfect for ground-level impact, and you’ve got a camellia that’s as dependable as it is stunning.
