Holly Osmanthus 'Goshiki', Holly Olive 'Goshiki', Chinese Holly 'Goshiki', False Holly 'Goshiki'
Slow-growing and compact, Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Goshiki’ (Holly Osmanthus) is a bushy evergreen shrub prized for its variegated and colorful holly-like foliage. Goshiki means 5 colors in Japanese. Emerging pink, the leathery leaves unfold as creamy, white, gold and bronze variegated, dark green spiny leaves. They create a luminous and eye-catching display. Blooming in late summer or fall, the dainty clusters of tiny fragrant white flowers are often hidden in the foliage. The dense growth habit and lush evergreen foliage make Goshiki an excellent choice for hedges, screens and specimen plants. A tough and beautiful shrub that is perfect to brighten up shady areas of the garden. Makes a good container plant too.
