|Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki' is a compact and mound-forming evergreen that reaches up to 3 1/2 feet tall and about 3 to 5 feet wide. The leaves are tinged with pink when young and dark green with creamy yellow splotches when mature. The tiny white flowers are extremely fragrant, hidden amongst the leaves, blooming between early and late fall. The fruits are seldom borne under cultivation, not showy. They prefer moist and well drained, acidic soil but are fairly adaptable. They dont seem to suffer from many pests. Great plant for borders, screens and hedges, as it is quite spiny it can be a useful barrier planting. Native to Japan, introduced 1856.
