Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus
A rare orange flowered form of the temple Osmanthus. This upright shrub/small tree is revered in China and Japan for the heavenly scented flowers. We do find that this variety does not flower as regularly. Not as hardy as the other Osmanthus, so choose a warm sunny site. Evergreen.
See Osmanthus fragrans as an alternative – this is an identical plant with white flowers, flowering multiple times per year.
