Fragrant spring garden
Wonderfully fragrant, white flowers. The richly flowering holly olive 'Perfume of Nature' (Osmanthus delavayi) is perfect for your colourful spring garden! The evergreen and hardy shrub blooms in the early spring.
You do not need to prune it, but the plant will tolerate it. You should do this immediately after flowering, so that you can enjoy its scent and colour again the next year. The Osmanthus likes a sunny but sheltered spot. The plant needs a bit of protection when there is very severe frost. Give it extra water during dry periods.
