Holly Osmanthus (Osmanthus heterophyllus) Shrub

The Holly Osmanthus (Osmanthus heterophyllus) botanically belongs to the family Oleaceae. It is an evergreen, perennial shrub of large size and slow growth rate. It has shiny leaves of dark green color and oval shape, with margins usually serrated-thorny - resembling those of Ilex. The very fragrant white flowers are carried many together on a cyme inflorescence. It blooms in autumn, with the scent of flowers diffusing in a wider area than the one in which it is located. The Holly Osmanthus is an easy-to-grow plant, growing in any soil that drains well, even in areas with fairly cold winters. It has no problems with pests or diseases, while looking for sunny places, but it can also be placed in the half-shade. The Holly Osmanthus is used both in gardening and in landscape architecture, as an individual plant, in group plantings to create shrubberies or hedges, while it can quite easily be formed into a small tree.

► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large shrubs are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
