Osmanthus Burkwoodii Solitaire Specimen 160/180cm

Osmanthus x burkwoodii, commonly known as Burkwood Osmanthus, is a fragrant, evergreen shrub that is highly valued for its aromatic white flowers and dense, bushy growth. It is a hybrid species, resulting from a cross between Osmanthus delavayi and Osmanthus decorus.

Key Characteristics:

• Foliage: The plant has glossy, dark green, leathery leaves that provide a rich backdrop year-round. The leaves are lance-shaped and have a slightly toothed edge, adding texture to the shrub.

• Flowering: One of the standout features of Osmanthus x burkwoodii is its small, creamy-white, highly fragrant flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The flowers are often described as smelling sweet and jasmine-like, making this plant a great choice for planting near walkways, patios, or other areas where the fragrance can be appreciated.

• Growth Habit: This shrub grows in a dense, rounded shape and typically reaches a height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters with a similar spread. It has a well-branched structure, making it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or as an ornamental shrub in borders.

• Hardiness: Osmanthus x burkwoodii is hardy to around -10°C, making it suitable for most temperate climates. It can tolerate cold temperatures but may require some protection in areas with harsh winters.

• Cultivation Requirements: It prefers well-drained, fertile soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is relatively low-maintenance and can be pruned to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Regular watering helps to establish the plant, though once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant.

Osmanthus x burkwoodii is a fragrant and versatile shrub that is perfect for adding year-round greenery and sweet-smelling blooms to gardens. It works well as a hedge, screening plant, or as a decorative shrub in borders, providing both aesthetic and aromatic benefits to the landscape.
