*RETAIL - Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Sasaba'

A spiny leaved Osmanthus, each leaf dark green with pale green veins on narrow, sharply pointed lobes clustered and appearing like bamboo leaves-- no problem once it's in the ground, but not fun to handle. Flowers are white and fragrant, appearing in autumn. A narrow, upright, evergreen shrub, to 6-8 ft tall x 2 ft wide -- but very slowly. Patience is rewarded by a striking plant and effective barrier. Fine in coastal sun and part shade inland with regular summer water.  Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.  Found by Japanese plantsman Mr. Hiramatsu.
