Osmanthus fragrans f. aurantiacus 'Orange Supreme'
Overview
Fragrant tea olive (Osmanthus fragrans f. aurantiacus 'Orange Supreme') is an evergreen shrub that produces clusters of delightful, sweet-smelling, orange-colored flowers in the spring and summer. Growing in full sun or part shade, it's highly fragrant and drought tolerant. Its moderate to fast growth rate makes it an ideal choice for creating a fragrant hedge or to line pathways and entryways. Ideal for USDA Hardiness Zones 7b and up, it requires well-drained soil and it's an excellent choice for containers and bonsai. Its glossy, dark green leaves provide a striking contrast against the bright flowers. It's perfect for any landscape that needs an attractive and aromatic accent piece.
