DELAVAY TEA OLIVE 5gal

The Delavay Tea Olive (Osmanthus delavayi) is a garden gem that delights the senses just as the winter chill begins to fade. Growing into a graceful, rounded evergreen shrub typically 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, it provides year-round structure with its small, dark green leaves. For gardeners in Zones 7 and 8, this plant is a must-have for its intoxicating, jasmine-like fragrance that drifts across the yard from tiny white springtime flowers. Its leathery foliage is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a reliable choice for the perimeter of your property where wildlife often wanders.

For a healthy start, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil to provide the drainage and organic matter this shrub craves. To maintain that deep evergreen luster and encourage a heavy bloom, feed your plant with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. This balanced nutrition ensures your Tea Olive remains a fragrant, low-maintenance cornerstone of your landscape for years to come.
