Notes
'Conger Yellow' fragrant tea olive (Osmanthus fragrans 'Conger Yellow') is a shrub for borders, specimens, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fragrant blooms appear in every season on this dense evergreen. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it room, since it can reach about 10 to 15 feet tall and wide.
Pairs well with Mondo grass, Pineapple sage, and Asiatic jasmine.
