Description
Truly in a class of its own, this is the tree-form version of the Goshiki Osmanthus, also known as Variegated False Holly. It is adored for its radiant, variegated, holly-like leaves of creamy white, yellow, and dark mint green. The new leaves in spring emerge bronze-red to pink for a spectacular show of contrasting color! Like most other Osmanthus, the fall flowers have a fresh, sweet fragrance that fills the garden air. When left to grow naturally, the canopy will assume a more pyramidal form; however, with occasional pruning, globe and other shapes are possible. Excellent in garden beds or containers that can be situated on or around patios and other outdoor living spaces, this beauty is a must for the gardener who enjoys unique and unusual plants.
Landscape & Garden Uses
The single-trunk tree from Goshiki Osmanthus is ideal for use as an accent, in spaced groupings, or two can be used to frame an entrance. It performs exceptionally well in pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios and around other outdoor sitting and living spaces where the beautiful foliage and fragrant flowers can be enjoyed from close up. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, white theme gardens, holly gardens and Asian gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 8 feet or more apart for space between plants.
Growing Preferences
The tree-form Goshiki Variegated Osmanthus is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. That said, in our north-central Georgia gardens and other areas with hot summer climates, it prefers some shade or filtered sun during the mid-afternoon hours. Maintenance is minimal, requiring little, if any, pruning to keep its dense form. It's also disease, fungus, and pest-resistant. Constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Just make sure to plant it in a well-drained site.
