Flower Green Tea
Flower Green Tea
Don't let the size of a bloom fool you.
We tend to choose plants whose flowers are large and colorful. Some of them have lovely scents; we worry more about interrupting the green. There is an evergreen shrub treasured not for the beauty of its blossoms but for the delightful perfume they produce.
The scent can be enjoyed from afar.
The aroma is very unique to these flowers. No two people will describe it the same, yet everyone finds it lovely. A bouquet so heady it can actually be enjoyed at 100 feet away from the plant. Each shrub will be smothered with thousands of light creamy yellow blooms. Depending on where you live, the blooming can take place in autumn and early spring, or all year in the southern reaches of its hardy zones.
There's more to this shrub than a delicious smell.
The Fragrant Tea Olive will adapt to any soil but sand. Its easy to grow and will tolerate some drought, once established. It isn't prone to attack from pests or diseases with adequate moisture. You can prune the shrub to a desired size or let it grow to create some seclusion. Morning sun or high, shifting shade is the lighting preferred by the Tea Olive.
Osmanthus fragrans - plant a row for beauty.
That's the formal Latin name for Fragrant Tea Olive. It is perfectly suited to blocking out a view and offering evergreen privacy. Osmanthus grow to 6-10' tall by 6-8' wide with a shape that remains quite uniform and attractive into maturity. The size is a great proportion for placing at the corner of a building or between windows where something that will get taller is needed for balance and framing your home.
Place one in a large container near your door.
The attractive deep green, glossy foliage gives the shrub added value for viewing in close proximity. What a great container plant for your deck, patio or doorway. If you live in an area where the Tea Olive is tender, this is the perfect way for you to enjoy them. You'll be able to take your Osmanthus indoors for cold protection.
In Chinese the plant is called 'cassia flower'.
In China, Fragrant Tea Olive flowers are infused with black or green tea to make scented tea. Chinese cuisine uses fragrance infusions of the blooms to make Osmanthus-scented jam, sweet cassia-flower cakes, soups and even to flavor a liquor called guìhu chen jio.
