Product Description
A dense rounded shrub with oblong, lance-shaped, glossy dark green leaves. Fragrant, cream-white flowers are borne in axillary clusters followed by dark violet berries. Native to West China. Once established, Osmanthus only require thorough watering during periods of drought. You may wish to fertilise them with a general-purpose fertiliser every year which should be spread around the base of the shrub, taking care not to touch any wood or foliage and water in well. Alternatively, a generous layer of compost will act as a slow release fertiliser. Osmanthus do not require much pruning although you may remove dead or old branches to retain a healthy appearance.
