Back to buying optionsFragrant Tea Olive Live Plant – 2.5 Quart | Osmanthus fragrans | Sweet Osmanthus Evergreen Shrub
Bring a beautiful fragrance to your garden with the Fragrant Tea Olive, also known as Sweet Osmanthus or Sweet Olive. Botanically known as Osmanthus fragrans, this evergreen shrub produces clusters of tiny white flowers with an exceptionally strong, sweet fragrance that can carry across the garden. Its dark, glossy green leaves provide year-round ornamental appeal, making it a lovely choice for landscape planting, fragrant hedges, and large garden containers. Sweet Tea Olive typically blooms during the cooler seasons, with flowering often occurring in late fall and again in early spring. It grows best in fertile, slightly acidic, moist, and well-draining soil, with exposure ranging from full sun to partial shade. This plant is grown in a 2.5-quart nursery pot and ships in a fabric grow bag instead of its original plastic pot.
