SWEET OLIVE IN FULL SUN?
 |
Can I plant a sweet olive in full sun in Louisiana? – Tammy |
 |
Yes. Sweet olive (Osmanthus fragrans) can definitely be planted in full sun in Louisiana. This large and familiarly-sweet blooming shrub prefers to be planted in full sun to part sun. It’s happiest if it receives at least six hours of direct sun each day. Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and your sweet olive will live happily for a very long time with minimal care. Pests are rarely an issue and once established in the garden, supplemental watering is not usually necessary. Plants grown in lots of shade are usually spindly and don’t bloom very much if at all. |
