Camellia Our Linda Pink
Botanical Name: Camellia japonica ‘Our Linda’
Common Name: Our Linda Camellia
Mature Height and Width:
6–8′ tall × 5–7′ wide
Growth Habit: Upright, dense, broadly oval evergreen shrub with a refined but naturally layered structure. More cold-tolerant and compact than many traditional japonicas. Moderate growth rate.
Foliage Description: Glossy, dark green, leathery evergreen leaves with a strong central vein and fine serration. Maintains year-round structure and deep coloration.
Flower Description: Large, semi-double to formal double blooms in bright rose-pink with prominent golden-yellow stamens visible in semi-double forms. Flowers typically 4–5 inches across.
Bloom Time: Early to mid-spring (often slightly later than traditional japonicas in colder climates)
Fall Color: Evergreen; no fall color change.
Light Requirements: Partial shade; best with morning sun and protection from harsh winter winds.
Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 6–9
Notable Landscape Uses:
Protected foundation plantings; courtyard gardens; evergreen focal shrub; mixed evergreen borders; winter-to-spring interest gardens; sheltered patio plantings; Southern-style garden accents adaptable to colder climates.
Deer Resistance: Moderate
Camellias are not typically a preferred browse, though flower buds may be sampled in higher-pressure areas. Established plants generally retain structure but may require protection during bloom in deer-heavy sites.
Note: Best planted in a protected location in Zone 7. Shelter from winter wind and strong afternoon sun helps preserve buds and foliage.
