Osmanthus fragrans Double flowers Visiting flowers of every hueThis is a really lovely looking is evergreen, spring flowering shrub. It bears small, oval, dark green leaves, which make a striking backdrop to its clusters of tubular creamy white to yellow (shades may vary depending on soil types and microclimate), fragrant flowers. It's slow growing, usually taking a year or two to establish and begin growing strongly, but given time, is an excellent feature plant for borders, hedging, or a woodland garden. Grows
