Fruitland Fortune's Osmanthus

The Fruitland Osmanthus is a rounded evergreen shrub reaching 8 or 10 feet tall and wide in as many years and growing to 20 feet in time. It has a neat, bushy form, needing no trimming, and its small leaves are leathery and rich green, looking a little like miniature holly leaves. In fall, and through winter in warm zones, it releases a wonderful fragrance from small white flowers among the leaves, perfuming your garden. Grow it around your home, out in shrub beds, as a hedge, or along the edges of wooded areas.

• A very cold-resistant Osmanthus
• Fills your fall garden with delicious perfume
• Neat foliage is like a miniature holly
• Easily clipped into hedges
• Top choice for both sun and shade

Full sun or partial shade both suit the Fruitland Osmanthus perfectly. Choose this variety for enhanced cold resistance in zone 7, and to grow in sheltered parts of zone 6. It grows in most well-drained soil, with some moisture, especially when young. Pests and diseases don’t bother it, and you can trim or not – it stays neat either way.
