Osmanthus x burkwoodii | Burkwood Osmanthus
DESCRIPTION
Osmanthus x burkwoodii is a versatile evergreen shrub with a dense, rounded growth habit and small, leathery, dark green leaves that are glossy and finely toothed, providing a lush backdrop year-round and adding texture to the landscape. In spring, clusters of small, white, highly fragrant flowers appear, perfuming the air with a delightful, sweet scent and attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Burkwood Osmanthus thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny to partially shaded location, tolerating a wide range of soil types and pH levels, making it adaptable to various garden conditions. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, with pruning needed after flowering to maintain its shape and size. Its compact size and attractive foliage make it well-suited for use as a specimen plant, hedge, or screen, and it can also be planted near outdoor living areas to enjoy its fragrance.
