Spiny, 7-inch long, evergreen deep green leaves allow axillary clusters of tiny, very fragrant, creamy-white flowers from early to late-autumn. Handsome and dense (alas, like too many), it's suitable for an always good-looking focal point or as part of a screen. ("Osme" means fragrant, and "anthos" means flower in Greek.) It's native to Hubei and Sichuan, China, where it grows on lower alpine slopes. It will accommodate full sun with the provision that it will get more water.

Makes an excellent fall pair with Parthenocissus henryana, also known as Silvervein Creeper.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
