Osmanthus Purple Holly (Rich purple foliage with fragrant seasonal flowers)

Osmanthus heterophyllus Purpurea

Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Purpurea’

Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Purpurea’ is a striking evergreen shrub valued for its distinctive purple-bronze new growth, glossy holly-like foliage and highly fragrant white flowers. Combining year-round structure with seasonal colour and perfume, this versatile shrub is ideal for Melbourne gardens where screening, hedging and ornamental appeal are equally important.
