    Description

    Osmanthus fragrans is a dense evergreen shrub grown for its foliage and extremely fragrant flowers. This flowering ornamental shrub, native to Asia, is a member of the olive family, but does not produce olives.

    Osmanthus fragrans is ideal for use as a border or privacy shrub. Its dense, upright form is heavily covered with 5" long, oval, glossy green leaves. Highly aromatic, the small white apricot-scented flowers bloom sporadically throughout the year. 

    This species can also be trained as an espalier, small tree, or grown in a container. Other common names include, Fragrant Osmanthus, Sweet Osmanthus, Tea Olive, and Fragrant Olive.

    Plant Care

    Prefers to be planted in loamy and moist soil with good drainage. Prefers to be in partial shade in most inland areas. Water regularly during the first year to aid the plant in establishing a strong root system, frequency can be cut back once established. Fertilize in early spring and prune to shape.
