It is a re-blooming orange flowering form of our age old \u003cem\u003eOsmanthus fragrans\u003c\/em\u003e. The Chinese name for this cultivar is 'Yue Yue Hong' (meaning \"monthly red\") and is a cultivar from Guangxi province. The leaves are not as stiff as the selection of  \"\u003cem\u003eaurantiacus\u003c\/em\u003e\" that we grow, but one outstanding characteristic of this selecion is the new growth which is a deep burgundy. Even each succeeding flush throughout the growing season shows the burgundy color on the new growth. When it flowers, one does not get the extremely large flower clusters that we get with our regular \"\u003cem\u003eaurantiacus\u003c\/em\u003e\" (which rarely repeats bloom each fall), but it more than makes up for this with its repeat flowering throughout the fall and winter, even into early spring. And contrary to the regular orange flowering form which doesn't begin to flower until it gets quite large, this one will begin to flower when only a few inches tall. Because it continues to grow through the winter, if one has a cold night, then this flush will burn, killing the flowers which bloom on terminal clusters. The flowers are awesomely fragrant. Even on a very cool morning, it has great fragrance. One can see the terminal flower clusters in the second photo. One should site this plant in full sun to part shade with protection from northwest winds for best flowering through the winter in zone 9 or warmer. If given good light indoors, this cultivar will make a great pot plant to flower through the winter to emit its incredible fragrance throughout the home, but indoors, the intensity of the orange color won't be as sharp.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eZone 7b-9\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\na.defaultcolor:link {\n    color: blue;\n    background-color: transparent;\n    text-decoration: none;\n}\na.defaultcolor:visited {\n    color: purple;\n    background-color: transparent;\n    text-decoration: none;\n}\na.defaultcolor:hover {\n    color: red;\n    background-color: transparent;\n    text-decoration: none;\n}\na.defaultcolor:active {\n    color: red;\n    background-color: transparent;\n    text-decoration: none;\n}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out our \u003ca title=\"Osmanthus Care Guide.\" class=\"defaultcolor\" href=\"https:\/\/nurcar.com\/pages\/osmanthus-a-care-guide\"\u003eOsmanthus Care Guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nurseries Caroliniana","offers":[{"title":"3 quart","offer_id":6399682936875,"sku":"OSMA-FRAG-AURA-APRI-03Q","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2602\/3376\/products\/Osmanthus_fragrans_1.JPG?v=1512159076"},{"product_id":"osmanthus-heterophyllus-shien-party-lights®","title":"Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Shien' Party Lights®","description":"\u003cp\u003eOften when I purchase a cultivar of a plant in Japan or another country, I may not have any idea of the salient  characteristic for which it is grown.

If you have purchased from us 'Rotundifolius Nouveau', this is the same cultivar. I found this plant in Japan in November 2009, and I could not find a cultivar name for it at the time. It could be that it was so new that a name had yet to be given to it. But we have recently been informed by Professor Micanori Ogisu that the correct cultivar name now is 'Subangulatus'. The nurseryman from whom it was acquired said that it was a compact form. The foliage seems to be more robust and thicker than the old 'Rotundifolius' as well as having a deeper gloss with more \"wavy\" margins, but the overall plant does not seem to be so compact as it is stocky and sturdy.

We have had no damage on any of these even when outside in containers with temperatures of 7°F. I am hoping that since it is more robust, that I might even be more cold hardy than 'Rotundifolius.' It has the same white fragrant fall flowers of the species, and from observing its flowers, it appears to be a male selection.

It is very difficult to root so the Japanese often graft this plant. It flowers in late fall with white fragrant flowers. It is one of a few shrubs that does equally well in sun or shade. We never have any problems with pests on this shrub, and even deer avoid it as they do with all Osmanthus.

This is a cultivar of the large-leaf form of tea. My acquisition of this Tea has a real story behind it. Upon my first visit to Japan in 2000, we visited the nursery of Mr. Akari Shibamichi and his brother. We consider him to be a Japanese national treasure because of his knowledge of plants. His nephew is the one who found Sky Pencil Holly in the wild in Japan, and he has the original cuttings growing at his nursery (of which you may see pictures on this site). I saw this incredible cultivar of Tea at the edge of the nursery fields with its extremely large leaves and huge yellow splotches. I asked permission to acquire a few cuttings and he gladly obliged. Some years later a friend, Fred Hooks, accompanied us to Japan for his first visit. When we arrived at Mr. Shibamichi's nursery, I told Fred not to go into the office until I could show him this plant. We went to where I knew it was growing and behold, no plant. Upon looking around, I found a stump where it had been planted. Mr. Shibamichi had cut it down and thrown it away. Someone had told me sometime before that if you see a plant in Japan, you had better buy it then, because you may never see it again. Sure enough, this is the only place that I had ever seen this cultivar, but thankfully, my cuttings rooted and we are able to offer it for sale for the first time in the U.S. as far as I know. You may see it on other sites, but they acquired it from us. One can see from the pictures the impressive statement that this plant can make in the landscape. When customers see it in the field, they are immediately drawn to it over anything else around. One thing that we noticed about the variegation is that if the plant becomes too shaded, then the variegation is usually lost, but by moving it to a more sunny location, the variegation re-appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZone 7-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nurseries Caroliniana","offers":[{"title":"3 quart","offer_id":6847771443243,"sku":"CAME-SINE-YELL-TEA-03Q","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2602\/3376\/products\/DSC_0224.JPG?v=1513184813"},{"product_id":"cephalotaxus-harringtonia-golden-dragon","title":"Cephalotaxus harringtonia 'Golden Dragon'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGolden Dragon Plum Yew. \u003c\/b\u003eThis outstanding new introduction has all of the great features of other Plum Yews: deer resistance, tough nature, sun or shade plus awesome gold needles when given enough sun.

'Pink Storm' is an intense pink with some flowers being completely double, i. e. no stamens at all, while others have many layers of petals and still show some stamens. This is a true break through with Quince breeding with which you will truly fall in love. The ultimate size will be 4-5' with an equal or slightly greater spread. It will flower best when sited in full sun. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZones 5-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nurseries Caroliniana","offers":[{"title":"4 quart","offer_id":6854814466091,"sku":"CHAE-DOUB-TAKE-PINK-04Q","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2602\/3376\/products\/Chaenomeles_Pink_Storm_3.19_1.JPG?v=1513197295"}],"url":"https:\/\/nurcar.com\/collections\/woodies-all\/spring-bloom.oembed?page=4","provider":"Nurseries Caroliniana","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
