Osmanthus × fortunei 'Natchez' is a captivating hybrid that blends history, resilience, and a refined beauty in the garden.

Adaptable and hardy, 'Natchez' offers a lush, evergreen presence year-round and thrives in a range of soil types. Its natural resilience makes it an excellent low-maintenance choice for creating privacy screens or enhancing a landscape with classic elegance.

Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade can prevent leaf scorch and maintain vibrant foliage.

Soil: Thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Amend heavy clay with compost to improve drainage, as Osmanthus prefers soil that retains some moisture without becoming soggy.

Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially during its first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, it’s moderately drought-tolerant but appreciates occasional deep watering during dry periods.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can reduce its hardiness.

Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Minimal pruning is usually sufficient, as Osmanthus 'Natchez' has a naturally dense growth habit.

Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep mulch a few inches away from the stem to prevent rot.

Pests & Diseases: Generally pest-resistant and disease-free. Monitor for common issues like scale or aphids, especially in humid climates, and treat with horticultural oil if needed.
