2.5 QT Live Plant Apricot Echo Orange Tea Olive Osmanthus Fragrant Evergreen Shrub
Apricot Echo Orange Tea Olive, also known as Osmanthus, is a distinctive evergreen shrub prized for its glossy foliage and abundant clusters of small, sweetly fragrant blooms. This selection is noted for its apricot-orange flower color, which stands out against the deep green leaves and adds warm seasonal interest to gardens and patios.
Its compact, upright habit makes it an excellent choice for hedges, foundation plantings, mixed borders, or a large container specimen. The fragrant flowers appear in flushes and are often used in perfumery and teas. Grow it in a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-drained soil, and provide occasional water during dry spells while it establishes.
