Notes
Party lights 'Goshiki' osmanthus (Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, specimen planting, and foundation beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is evergreen, fragrant, and drought tolerant, and its dense habit and slow growth make it easy to keep tidy.
Pairs well with Green Velvet buxus, Wide Brim hosta, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
