Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Gulftide’

Gulftide Holly Osmanthus

"Gulftide' Osmanthus (lets call it what it is!) has been an evergreen staple for Mid-Atlantic and coastal New England gardens for years. Being incredibly cold hardy and heat tolerant, 'Gulftide' can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub, its dense foliage with prominent spiny margins, makes it ideal for use as a specimen, evergreen hedge or privacy screen, or as a background in landscape borders. The leaves become progressively less spiny with age. As with other Osmanthus varieties, it produces abundant clusters of fragrant white flowers. Growing 8 to 15 feet tall and 5 to 7 feet wide depending on pruning, 'Gulftide' is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to mostly shade.
