Osmanthus fortunei Details

Osmanthus x fortunei is an evergreen shrub grown for its delicate and pretty flowers. It produces dark green leaves that have a distinct, Holly-like appearance with their serrations. The foliage is adorned through autumn with clusters of small and highly-scented, white flowers which are followed by small, blue-black berries. This showy plant typically grows to 1.5 m tall and 2 m wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. It will tolerate dry conditions, coastal environments, and frosts. Osmanthus x fortunei is commonly trimmed into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, or included anywhere the fragrance of this plant can be enjoyed.
