Sweet Olive (Osmanthus fragrans) is an elegant evergreen shrub or small tree celebrated for its exceptionally fragrant flowers. Its upright, naturally dense growth features glossy, dark green, leathery leaves that provide year-round beauty. Tiny, creamy-white flowers appear in clusters, releasing a rich, sweet fragrance reminiscent of apricots and jasmine. Flowering is often heaviest from late summer through fall, with additional blooms possible in mild climates. Ideal for entryways, patios, privacy screens, and fragrant gardens, Sweet Olive thrives in well-drained soil with moderate watering.
