Description

Of all the pink fall blooming sasanqua Camellias, ‘Our Linda’ might just be our favorite. It doesn’t mind full sun and the bloom is spectacular. One of the best fall-blooming Camellias, LOADS of large and gorgeous cotton candy pink double blooms are produced over a long period during fall and well into winter. The flowers stand out remarkably well against the glossy, dark green foliage. Maturing up to 12 feet tall, this one makes an excellent screen or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree in landscape borders and foundation plantings.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide (depending on pruning), the Our Linda Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this Camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small evergreen tree that serves well as a colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, pink or lavender/purple theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 14 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
