Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki' - variegated false holly 3ltr pot

Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki', also known as variegated false holly or holly olive 'Goshiki', is a compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub prized for its striking, year-round variegated foliage. The name 'Goshiki' translates to "five colors" in Japanese, referring to the blend of colors found on its leaves. 

• Foliage: The glossy, holly-like leaves feature irregular splashes and flecks of green, cream, and yellow-green. New growth often emerges with a pink or bronze tint. The leaves have sharp, spiny edges similar to true holly.
• Flowers: In late summer or autumn, small clusters of white, tubular flowers appear among the leaves. While small, these blooms are highly fragrant, emitting a sweet jasmine or apricot-like scent that attracts pollinators.
• Fruit: The flowers may occasionally be followed by small, oval, blue-black berries, which are attractive to birds.
• Size and Habit: This is a slow-growing shrub that typically reaches a mature height and spread of 1.5m to 2m (around 5-6.5 ft). It has a dense, rounded habit and tolerates clipping well, making it suitable for topiary or hedging.
