Fortune's Osmanthus

(Osmanthus fortunei)

Also known as "Fortune's Tea Olive", this Southern favorite is grown for its small, FRAGRANT WHITE flowers which cover the plant in October and for its Winter cold-hardiness.

Fortune's Tea Olive is more COLD-HARDY than Fragrant Tea Olive.  It suffers no leaf-burn in Winter, whereas Fragrant Tea Olive may suffer some damaged leaves if planted in a spot which receives lots of cold Winter wind.  Fortune's Tea Olive retains its dark-green leaves year-round.

See our Fortune's Tea Olive planted in front of our KinderGarden.

Plant in sun to light shade.
