Fragrant Tea Olive Shrub
Amazing Fragrant Blooms for Months A friend of mine cherished the visits from his grandchildren, but worried that the younger ones would eventually forget about their time together. He wanted to create memories that would outlive him. He's a big believer that smells make a stronger impact than sights or sounds. So he started looking for a flowering shrub that would give a unique fragrance that would be associated with his home only. The Fragrant Tea Olive became his answer. Osmanthus Fragrans, better known as the Fragrant Tea Olive, produces small white blooms that pack a punch. Some describe it as a rose scent, others as gardenia and still others as jasmine. These unusually scented flowers come on in late winter, signaling the beginning of spring, then bloom sporadically during the summer. For an encore, the Fragrant Tea Olive puts on a show again in the fall. This isn't a flower you have to bury your nose in to smell. Some customers have said they can smell a row of Tea Olives
