Osmanthus delavayi 'Frank Knight'

A handsome, slow growing evergreen shrub with small, glossy, dark-green leaves, dusky purple when young and clusters of fragrant, white flowers in late spring. These flowers stand out well against the darker foliage. Osmanthus delavayi 'Frank Knight' is a lovely flowering small to medium sized shrub with a fairly upright, compact habit.
