Osmanthus Burkwoodii | Hedge Plants

My collection of early flowering perennial wallflowers bought from Hayloft Plants last summer. I canu2019t describe how desperate these looked during the reign of the beast, but their recovery has been nothing in need of miraculous, all now in bloom and lots of thereupon wonderful wall flower scent. Iu2019m fairly certain that the trick is to grow them in stone pots, the closest most folks can get to their native habitats of rocky walls.<br>

  3. OSMANTHUS BURKWOODII The false holly is extremely easy to grow fully sun to deep shade, although it'll flower less in additional shade. It prefers well- drained soil, but will tolerate sand and clay. it's drought tolerant once established, but would appreciate occasional watering during dry weather, especially if during a sandy site. It can grow openly while it's young, particularly if it's in shade- light pruning can help keep this shrub dense in youth.
