This superb osmanthus blooms with the most fragrance and the most flowers, worthy of being called the king of golden osmanthus

Osmanthus is famous for its rich fragrance, but among the many osmanthus varieties, the one with the most flowers and the strongest fragrance is none other than the Jinqiu osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans 'Jinqiu'). Whether in fragrance or flower quantity, it surpasses other golden osmanthus varieties, with 2-4 times more flowers than other golden osmanthus, creating a spectacular sight of a tree covered in blooms at peak flowering. The Jinqiu osmanthus blooms from late September to early October, with golden-yellow flowers. When it blooms, the fragrance fills the air, intoxicating all who encounter it.

Osmanthus is one of China's traditional top ten flowers, a rare ornamental and edible flower that combines purification, beauty and rich fragrance in one, deeply loved by people since ancient times and regarded as a traditional famous flower. The Jinqiu osmanthus is even more irresistible. When it blooms, dozens of small flowers gather at the same node, forming clusters of small flower balls that are very eye-catching and beautiful. More importantly, it gives off a unique fragrance even richer than other osmanthus varieties, making it even more beloved.

The Jinqiu osmanthus prefers warmth and humidity, likes sunlight, and has some tolerance for shade. It is best grown in fertile, loose, well-drained sandy soil rich in humus. Osmanthus likes to grow in places with good ventilation and light, and is not tolerant of smoke and dust. During growth, it should be given sufficient light and good ventilation to ensure normal growth.

For potted osmanthus, when watering, the water should soak through but not accumulate in the pot. When there is too much water and the soil is too wet, the leaves will turn yellow. In severe cases, the roots will rot. There are four fears in growing osmanthus: first, fear of soil that is too alkaline; second, fear of water accumulation in the soil; third, fear of incomplete watering (half watering); fourth, fear of excessively high temperatures in winter. If you want osmanthus to bloom abundantly and have a strong fragrance, you need to make sure it gets enough light and nutrients. Sufficient light and nutrients are the basic guarantee for abundant blooms and strong fragrance.
