Sweet Olive Plant
Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.
As large as it is lovely, at an incredible maximum size of 20 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide you’ll want to make sure to plant the Sweet Olive evergreen shrub only where it’s capable of growing to its full potential. Though it prefers at least somewhat fertile soil, the Sweet Olive Osmanthus shrub is adaptable to living in much worse conditions with poor soil and can thrive even with general neglect. Offering an incredible fragrance that you’re going to want to enjoy, planting these shrubs near doors and windows is a great way to enjoy them all day long. For the best results from your Sweet Olive plant just place it in full sun to partial shade in moist to average soil. Great in a row or as part of a hedge, this lovely shrub is covered in small white flowers through Fall, Winter and early Spring, with occasional blooms in the Summer as well.
