Osmanthus heterophyllus deserves a position beside an entrance or path, where its powerfully fragrant white autumn flowers can be fully appreciated. Dense evergreen foliage also makes an elegant hedge. It grows more slowly than cherry laurel but eventually forms a substantial shrub. Young leaves are strongly holly-like and spiny, while foliage on mature branches generally becomes much less prickly.
Holly Osmanthus
Price range: 18,00 € through 24,00 €
A rare evergreen shrub with holly-like foliage and intensely fragrant white autumn flowers.
Osmanthus heterophyllus, also known as Holly Osmanthus, is an attractive evergreen shrub appreciated for its glossy holly-like foliage and highly fragrant autumn flowering.
From September to November, the shrub produces masses of small white flowers with a powerful sweet fragrance that perfumes the surrounding air. The flowers are also highly attractive to pollinators at a time of year when floral resources become scarce.
This slow-growing ornamental shrub naturally develops a dense rounded habit, eventually reaching around 3 metres in height and width. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and ornamental value in gardens and landscape planting.
Our Osmanthus heterophyllus plants are container-grown in our nursery, as evergreen shrubs do not tolerate bare-root cultivation well.
