Care & Usage Instructions:
Osmanthus Burkwoodii is remarkably easy to grow. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is happy in most soil types, including acidic or alkaline. To maintain a specific shape or to use as a hedge, prune immediately after the flowering season in late spring; this ensures you don’t cut off the next year’s flower buds. Apply a general-purpose fertilizer and a layer of mulch around the base in early spring to encourage healthy growth and a prolific floral display.
