Golden false holly, Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Ogon’, is a delightful Japanese shrub bearing waxy, deer-resistant golden-yellow leaves that mature to green in summer. Slow growing, it forms a low, wide habit before, eventually, developing a pyramid shape.
For best results grow Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Ogon’ in moist but well-drained soil in a sheltered spot in partial shade.
