Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Purpureus’ - 5Litre

This lovely Holly-Olive has rich dark green foliage, with striking red-black new growth that provides a wonderful contrast throughout the season. In early winter, fragrant creamy flowers appear amongst the leaves, providing a valuable source of nectar for pollinators at a time when little else is in flower. This period is often known as "The Hungry Gap", making late-flowering plants like this especially valuable.

A tough and reliable evergreen shrub that brings year-round structure, colour and scent to the garden.
