Osmanthus delavayi 'Pearly Gates' Details

“Pearly Gates” is a variety of Osmanthus grown for its dainty foliage and delicate flowers. It produces masses of small and highly fragrant, white flowers through spring and summer, which are followed by blue-black berries. The flowers literally transform the plant, and are further accentuated with glossy green leaves. It grows with a dense and rounded shape to about 1.5 m tall and 2 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this evergreen are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of extended dry periods, coastal environments, and moderate frost. “Pearly Gates” is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, added to “white” or cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas such as pools and barbecue areas, maintained in a container, or used anywhere the beauty and fragrance can be enjoyed.
