Among the many sasanqua cultivars, 'Our Linda' distinguishes herself through the warmth of her rose-pink blooms and a reliable constitution that suits her to a wide range of gardens from zone 7 to 10. She grows 8 to 12 feet tall and carries her flowers in the autumn months, exactly when that kind of color is most welcome. Like all sasanqua camellias, she blooms on old wood, which means restraint with the pruners until the last flower has fallen. For those wanting larger individual blooms, thinning a cluster down to a single bud will let the remaining flower develop with more presence.

She is straightforwardly easy to keep, provided the basics are met: acidic soil, reasonable drainage, and some protection from fierce afternoon summer sun. Alkaline soil will yellow the leaves; iron chelates will correct this but addressing the underlying pH is better practice. As a flowering evergreen she works as a hedge, a tall foundation shrub, or — with careful pruning over the years — a small tree. Butterflies visit the autumn flowers, adding movement to the garden at a quiet time of year. She has some resistance to deer, which counts for a great deal in suburban gardens where sasanqua camellias are grown.
