Osmanthus Olea Fragrance Plant

Osmanthus fragrans (Osmanthus olea), also known as sweet osmanthus or fragrant olive, is a beautifully scented plant.

Here are five short care tips to keep it healthy:

Sunlight – Prefers full sun to partial shade; at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.

Watering – Keep soil moist but not soggy; water deeply when the top inch of soil is dry.

Soil – Well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 5.5-7.5) is best.

Pruning – Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and promotes bushy growth.

Fertilizing – Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10 or similar) in spring and summer for healthy growth.
