Osmanthus decorus

Excellent, evergreen olive relation, with small, fragrant spring flowers covering the plant in early spring. A handsome shrub year round with its long, narrow, leathery leaves and rounded form, to 6-8 ft tall and a bit wider; its habit is neat and tidy just as the name would imply. Does well in sun to light shade with protection from blasting heat in the hottest climates. Though drought tolerant once established, prefers occasional summer water. Frost hardy to USDA zone 7. Once known as Phillyrea vilmoriana.
