Osmanthus heterophyllus
Chinese holly osmanthus is a versatile, slow-growing evergreen shrub with holly-like spiny leaves and intensely fragrant white flowers that perfume the garden in autumn. It thrives in partial shade to full sun in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and is notably low-maintenance once established. This plant makes an excellent hedge, foundation shrub, or specimen plant and tolerates urban conditions well.
