Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A delightful addition to the Sweet Olive tribe! Long, leathery, smooth leaves add a wonderful elegance to this rare 6-8' evergreen shrub. Tiny-white blossoms in spring give rise to the sweet, heady fragrance that Osmanthus are so well known for. Its medium-dark-green foliage contrasts nicely in the garden. This deer-resistant shrub is a low-maintenance treasure. Roy Lancaster collected this fabulous cultivar in Turkey. S-PSh/M-D
