This plant loves the sun and would prefer a spot in the landscape that receives full sun exposure and partial shade exposure throughout the day — no pruning necessary to keep Tea Olive clean-cut and shapely.




Mature height 1-2 feet -- mature width 1-2 feet -- exposure full sun to partial shade -- hardiness zones 6-10 Many plants this dwarf rarely flower, but the flowers are full size, if ever, so they put on quite a show and are just as fragrant as the species.

The strong fragrance can be smelled from several hundred feet away. Works well for formal or informal hedges and screens, or as a landscape specimen. Water deeply, moist, regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system.
Provide enriched, well-drained soil. Plant near walks and entrances to enjoy the fragrance. Fertilize before new growth begins in early spring. Shelter from intense afternoon sun in hot summer regions. This is a favorite old-fashioned shrub or small tree grown for its sweetly fragrant flowers. Treat it as a background for the perennial border or group with more spectacular deciduous flowering shrubs.



Blossoms of the hardy tea olive are visually inconsequential, but their impact can be significant. Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Florida Foliage. May work well as foundation planting and along fencelines where summers aren't too hot.
