Tea Olive 7 Gallon - Cofer's Home & Garden

Homeowners looking to fill space in the yard will be thrilled with the growth pattern of this shrub — a wide frame with compact growth will fill large gaps in the landscape in no time! Osmanthus Tea Olive grows as tall as it does wide, creating a symmetrical wall of flushing, lime-green foliage. Green Is Where I Grow! Sunlight will help increase flower production which will also increase fragrance released in the air. These tiny, pale flowers sit on the underside of Tea Olive leaves — offering a discrete reward! Tea Olive Is Drought-Tolerant in the Landscape Grows Upright in a Wide, but Compact Frame Copper-Colored Leaves Appear in Autumn Months With its upright oval, columnar growth habit the sweet Osmanthus is ideal as a fragrant specimen plant, privacy hedge, or can be trained to grow as a small tree. We enjoy seeing it as a border hedge in mulch beds or small gardens. The lush, green foliage of the Tea Olive plant has pale undersides and is accompanied by a multitude of sweet smelling white flowers that bloom in October and last until early spring. Tea Olive Prefers Full Sun Exposure Throughout the Day With Partial Shade Grows Best in Organically Rich, Well-Drained Soil With a Neutral to Acidic pH — Ideally Soil Should be Evenly Moist but Not Soggy Fertilize With Slow-Release Pellets During Late Winter/Early Spring for Optimal Flowering in Summer-Autumn Months Fragrant Flowers Will Attract Butterflies With No Additional Maintenance Required! This fragrant shrub features light-green foliage on thin, shrub-like branches — Tea Olive holds a compact, bush-like frame, complimentary when planted in multiples along walkways, in gardens, next to patios and pools, or at the front entrance of home or office buildings This plant loves the sun and would prefer a spot in the landscape that receives full sun exposure and partial shade exposure throughout the day — no pruning necessary to keep Tea Olive clean-cut and shapely Pale, yellow flowers will appear in spring & summer months, releasing a sweet-note fragrance similar to Southern Sweet Tea — this aroma is recognizably purifying and will compliment other Natural tones in the garden!
