Osmanthus Burkwoodii is a highly attractive evergreen hedging plant, valued for its dense growth, rich dark green foliage, and beautifully scented spring flowers. Sometimes known as Burkwood Osmanthus, it is a popular choice for creating smart, formal hedges with year-round structure and seasonal interest.

Each of these Osmanthus Burkwoodii hedge plants is 4-5ft (120-150cm) in height and supplied root balled, meaning they are field grown and lifted during the dormant season with a secure soil-wrapped root system for strong establishment after planting.

Evergreen Structure – Provides reliable year-round coverage, keeping your hedge looking full and green in every season.
Fragrant Spring Flowers – Produces clusters of highly scented creamy white flowers in spring, adding seasonal interest and garden fragrance.
Dense, Formal Growth Habit – Responds very well to trimming, forming a tight, compact hedge ideal for boundaries and structure.
Low Maintenance Hedge Plant – Requires just one trim per year after flowering to maintain shape and encourage denser growth.
Steady Growth Rate – Typically grows around 30cm per year, making it easy to manage and shape over time.
Coastal Tolerant – Performs well in coastal gardens, handling exposure and wind with good resilience.
Versatile Positioning – Suitable for sun or partial shade and adapts well to a range of well-drained soils.

These Osmanthus Burkwoodii hedge plants should be planted approximately 45cm (1.5ft) apart in a single row to create a dense, established hedge over time. Regular watering during establishment and a mulch around the base will help support strong root development.

Whether you're creating a formal evergreen boundary, adding structure to a decorative garden, or looking for a fragrant alternative to traditional hedging, Osmanthus Burkwoodii is a reliable and elegant choice.
