Described as the sweetest floral fragrance in the plant kingdom, the Sweet Olive is an evergreen plant of modest stature that displays clusters of cream-colored miniature flowers. An orange-blossom fragrance arrives during its blooming season, fall to spring, although we often find it blooming sporadically in the summer. It loves it cool and evenly moist with little to no fertilizer.

Flowers right off the bat

Bought my Osmanthus last summer. It did well in the window all winter, bloomed plenty during that first season, and suffered some browning tips that I understand are pretty typical for this species. It's also happy on the porch this summer, growing steadily if slow-ish. Very happy to have it in the collection!
