Back to buying optionsFragrant Tea Olive – Osmanthus fragrans – Live Evergreen Flowering Shrub in 2.5 Quart Nursery Pot
Add beauty and a wonderful fragrance to your garden with Fragrant Tea Olive (Osmanthus fragrans), also known as Sweet Olive or Sweet Osmanthus. This evergreen shrub features glossy, dark green leaves and clusters of small white flowers with a powerful, sweet fragrance. It typically blooms during the cooler seasons, often in late fall and early spring. Tea Olive grows well in garden beds or large containers and can be used as a fragrant hedge, screen, or ornamental landscape plant.
The plant is currently grown in a 2.5-quart nursery pot but will ship in a fabric grow bag rather than its original plastic pot. Some destinations may receive the plant bare root inside the grow bag. Plants may also ship dormant from November through March. Flowering at the time of purchase is not guaranteed, and actual plant size may vary by season and availability.
