Looking for a osmanthus with real character? Osmanthus burkwoodii is a great choice. Osmanthus x burkwoodii is a dense evergreen with small, glossy, dark green leaves and clusters of highly fragrant white flowers in spring. It makes an excellent scented hedge.
Osmanthus is a group of evergreen shrubs with glossy, sometimes holly-like leaves. Many carry small, intensely fragrant flowers, and they clip well into hedges and topiary.
Osmanthus burkwoodii grows best in full sun or part shade, in well-drained soil. It is a good choice for scented hedging, and also works well for evergreen screening, shady borders and topiary. Pair it with spring bulbs, hellebores and other evergreens.
Water the plant well in its pot an hour before planting. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth, loosen the soil at the base, and mix in some garden compost. Set the plant at the same level it sat in the pot, backfill, firm gently and water in thoroughly.
Water in the first year. Little pruning is needed; clip after flowering to shape. Clip after flowering. Generally trouble-free.
Grows in containers. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
