This osmanthus has elegantly varigated leaves which look similar to holies but are smaller. The leaves are spiny but not as sharp as on common hollies. The varigation is creamy white on pale green background, new growth is pink. To maintain a compact shape we recommend cutting it 1-2x a year. First, beginning of spring remove all unsightly, dead or too long branches, and then, if needed, in mid-summer trim the ends of branches to encourage branching. It prefers acidic, moist but well-drained soil. Protect all variegated forms from direct winter and early spring sunlight – either by planting them in semi-shade or shade, or by temporary usage of fleece. In frost-free periods of winter provide extra watering!
