Osmanthus Variegatus

Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Variegatus’ is an adaptable evergreen shrub valued for its holly-like foliage, attractively splashed and edged with creamy white against deep green. The sharply toothed leaves create a strong structure and year-round interest, while in autumn the plant produces small, creamy-white flowers tucked among the foliage, releasing a delicate, sweet fragrance that adds an unexpected sensory delight.

This variegated shrub thrives in a sunny to lightly shaded position with well-drained soil and makes an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or as a standalone feature in borders. It combines beautifully with other evergreen shrubs such as Viburnum tinus, Sarcococca, or Camassia leichtlinii. Minimal maintenance is required; simply trim lightly in spring or after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense, healthy growth.

Supplied in approx. 2-3 litre containers.
