The name 'Goshiki' translates to 'five colours' in Japanese, referring to the striking mix of new growth that emerges in shades of pink, bronze and cream before maturing to deep green speckled with golden-cream variegation. This creates a year-round display of multi-toned foliage that brings lasting interest to any garden setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn autumn, small, sweetly fragrant white flowers appear among the leaves, adding a subtle but delightful scent to the garden. This compact, slow-growing shrub is well suited to borders, containers, low hedging and courtyard or Japanese-style gardens. It is fully hardy and thrives in a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade, where its variegation develops its best colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Receive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki' supplied as a 19cm root-ball, garden ready for outdoor planting\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariegated evergreen foliage with shades of pink, cream, bronze and green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompact, bushy habit ideal for borders, containers and low hedging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eSmall, fragrant white flowers in autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFully hardy and suitable for year-round outdoor growing in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eSlow-growing and low maintenance once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHolly-like leaves add architectural interest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting and Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in well-drained, fertile soil in a sheltered spot in full sun to partial shade. Full sun encourages the strongest variegation. Water regularly during the first growing season to help the plant establish.
