About This Plant
Osmanthus × burkwoodii (Burkwo), 'Burkwo', is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.
Osmanthus species are evergreen shrubs prized for intensely fragrant small white or orange flowers , O. fragrans (Sweet Olive) is the iconic fragrance shrub of southern gardens. Many holly-like species (O. heterophyllus) also serve as evergreen hedges.
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 6 to 9. Generally trouble-free; drought-tolerant once established.
For a Pacific Northwest native shrub of similar character, consider Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape, Oregon state flower), Philadelphus lewisii (Mock Orange), or Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray) , all support native pollinators and birds.
