Osmanthus grows well in loamy to sandy soils with regular water during establishment. Once settled in, it is drought-tolerant and wind-hardy, making it perfect for Perth gardens. It appreciates mulch and protection from harsh afternoon sun in its first year.
This plant is a great choice for anyone wanting a scented, ornamental shrub with low maintenance needs. Limited stock available. Makes an excellent and highly regarded tea. The flowers are edible and widely used in teas, syrups, jams, and desserts—especially in Chinese cuisine.
