Description
Osmanthus burkwoodii is a small-leaved, dark green evergreen that is gaining popularity as an alternative to Box for hedging.
Supplied in a pallet of 5 readybags, this plant is perfect for establishing an instant hedge with minimal effort. It’s known for its dense foliage, which, with regular trimming, forms a lush, compact hedge.
Although slow-growing, Osmanthus burkwoodii can eventually reach just over 2 meters in height, offering excellent privacy and an attractive backdrop for more ornamental plants. When left slightly untrimmed, it produces a profusion of highly fragrant white flowers in April and May, adding seasonal interest to the garden.
Originating from a hybrid of two hardy Osmanthus species from China and western Asia, Osmanthus burkwoodii is both resilient and versatile, able to be shaped into topiary or maintained as a formal hedge. Its deep green leaves and fragrant blooms earned it the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Merit in 1978 and an Award of Garden Merit in 1984. This readybag pallet is an efficient solution for landscapers looking to quickly create dense, fragrant hedging.
