Osmanthus shrubs, also known as sweet olive or tea olive, are prized for their fragrant flowers, evergreen foliage, and versatile nature. These shrubs belong to the olive family, Oleaceae, and are native to Asia.

One of the most notable features of Osmanthus shrubs is their highly fragrant flowers, which bloom in clusters in late winter or early spring. The flowers emit a sweet, apricot-like fragrance that can perfume an entire garden, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.

In addition to their fragrant flowers, Osmanthus shrubs are valued for their evergreen foliage, which varies in shape and size depending on the species. The leaves are typically leathery and glossy, adding year-round interest to the landscape.

Osmanthus shrubs are versatile plants that can be grown as hedges, screens, or standalone specimens. They are relatively low-maintenance and can adapt to a variety of soil types and light conditions, although they prefer well-draining soil and partial shade.
