Osmanthus 'Jim Porter'
Thought to be derived from O. armatus, O. ‘Jim Porter’ has one of the most beautifully sculptured
appearances of any in the genus, growing reasonably fast to 6-8 ft tall in a narrow pyramidal form. Narrow,
shiny green leaves, to 4", are dissected more than halfway back to the mid vein in a wonderful spiked pattern.
Flowering begins in September and often lasts through November and December with very fragrant, small,
white clusters amid the leaves. Typical osmanthus culture -- reasonably well-drained soil; sun to light shade;
summer watering is best in dry climates to maintain vigor. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
1g @ $15, 2g @ $28 Oleaceae
Osmanthus delavayi sweet olive
No doubt the most durable, most abusable, most hedge-able, most dependable of the sweet olives. Stocky
evergreen shrub to 6 ft or so loaded with intoxicatingly sweet-scented, small, white spring flowers. Full sun to
part shade in any soil (except swampy!). Drought tolerant once established. Can be pruned in summer to
maintain shape. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
1g @ $14 Oleaceae
Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki'
This fragrant olive’s rounded outline and foliage make it an excellent border shrub. Goshiki is ‘five colored’
in Japanese and refers to the rainbow-splashed variegation in the new growth. Intensely fragrant, tiny, cream,
fall flowers are added attractions. To 4-8 ft in sun to part shade with regular summer water. Frost hardy in
USDA zone 7, possibly 6.
4D @ $15, 1g @ $15 Oleaceae
Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Rotundifolius'

part shade where the soil is rich and receives regular summer water. Can be used for a low hedge. Frost hardy
in USDA zone 7.

above with dark red undersides, and large, pale, silk pink flowers. Try it in your deepest dark, dry shade, or in
dappled sun with little summer water. Cold hardy in USDA zone 7.
