{"product_id":"osmanthus-goshiki","title":"Osmanthus Goshiki","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFive-Color Foliage for Year-Round Interest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoshiki Osmanthus is a colorful, broadleaf evergreen shrub grown for its dramatic, variegated foliage and compact, refined habit. The name “Goshiki” means “five colors,” a fitting description for foliage that can show green, cream, gold, yellow, and bronze tones throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew growth often emerges pinkish bronze before maturing into glossy, spiny, holly-like leaves splashed with cream, gold, and green. This changing foliage gives Goshiki Osmanthus more year-round interest than many plain green evergreen shrubs. It is especially useful where homeowners want an evergreen structure with a brighter, more decorative look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA False Holly with Evergreen Structure and Softer Scale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso called Goshiki False Holly or Goshiki Holly Osmanthus, this shrub has the look and texture of holly without being a true holly. Its dense evergreen habit makes it useful for foundations, entries, mixed borders, low hedges, and colorful evergreen groupings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoshiki grows slowly, which helps keep it manageable in residential landscapes. It can be maintained as a compact shrub or allowed to mature into a larger, rounded evergreen accent. Because the leaves are naturally variegated, the plant brings color even in winter when many flowering shrubs are dormant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSmall Fragrant Flowers as a Seasonal Bonus\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoshiki Osmanthus may produce small white flowers in the fall. The flowers are not large or showy, but they can be pleasantly fragrant and add a subtle seasonal surprise when many other shrubs are finished blooming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage remains the main ornamental feature. Homeowners should choose Goshiki for its variegated evergreen color, compact texture, and deer-resistant structure, then enjoy the flowers as an added benefit. Planting it near walkways, entries, patios, or seating areas can make the fragrance easier to notice when the bloom occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for Foundations, Hedges, Borders, and Shade Gardens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse Goshiki Osmanthus as a foundation shrub, low evergreen hedge, mixed border accent, patio screen, entry planting, or colorful backdrop for perennials. It pairs especially well with boxwood, hollies, camellias, gardenias, loropetalum, hydrangeas, hostas, heuchera, ferns, and ornamental grasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts variegated foliage helps brighten part-shade gardens and shaded foundation beds. In full sun, foliage color may become brighter, while part shade can help protect the leaves in hotter climates. This flexibility makes Goshiki useful in many residential planting designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Maintenance, Deer Resistant, and Adaptable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoshiki Osmanthus is generally considered deer-resistant because of its tough, spiny, holly-like leaves. It is also low maintenance once established and can adapt to full sun or part shade with well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly after planting to help roots establish. Once established, it can tolerate short dry periods, but it looks best with moderate moisture. Prune lightly in spring or after flowering if shaping is needed. Because it grows slowly, heavy pruning is rarely necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":49769249767576,"sku":"tgh1788063357956","price":24.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Gallon Pot","offer_id":49769249800344,"sku":"zsa1788063357957","price":61.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/1832\/4888\/files\/osmanthus-goshiki_1.jpg?v=1788063363","url":"https:\/\/www.candlewoodcorner.shop\/products\/osmanthus-goshiki","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
