Pot Grown Burkwood Osmanthus
(Osmanthus x burkwoodii)

Osmanthus x burkwoodii̴Ì?is a slow-growing hedge̴Ì?with̴Ì?delicate, fragrant, jasmine-like flowers, arranged in clusters all over the fine toothed (but not prickly), evergreen foliage.

We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.

Like a lot of the white flowering plants, the Burkwood Osmanthus has a gorgeous fragrance that can travel a far distance, making it ideal for planting near the house or on the patio. In terms of wanting more flowers the next year, a little tip is to trim the hedge after flowering. This will encourage new, and increased growth.

The Osmanthus x burkwoodii has an average growth rate and will grow to 3m high (if placed in good conditions), though it is easily kept at heights much lower than this.

Burkwood Osmanthus is not specific about what soil type it is placed in; however, it must be moist, and should not be exposed to any strong East/North winds that can easily damage the leaves.

  • Growth height: Average (20-40cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 2.5m+ Tall
  • Soil Type: Normal
  • Exposure: Inland, Sheltered
  • Aspect: Semi-shade, Sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

It is best to prune your Osmanthus Burkwoodii in the late Winter or early Springtime. Though it is slow growing, you must prune it yearly to ensure you remove any dead branches.

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant form its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down lightly to secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure your regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
