Devilwood (Osmanthus armatus) is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It blooms in early to mid autumn with creamy white flowers. It can reach 12 to 17 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide, so give it room to grow as a hedge.
