This dense, rounded, evergreen shrub has small, fragrant white flowers in late fall. Glossy, wavy, thick deep green leaves have the occasional secretive thorns to deter the interloper. A medium to slow grower, it will reach 6 – 8 feet tall and wide. It's drought-tolerant once established and more-so in part shade. Always good-looking.

In our garden, this is the last of the Osmanthus to start blooming in the fall. We also appreciate this shrub for remaining unbothered as it grows beside a paved parking pad. 

Mature size: 6-8 ft tall and wide
