Osmanthus fragrans likes warmth, strong resistance, high temperature resistance and cold resistance. Therefore, it can overwinter in the open air in the areas south of Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River in China. Osmanthus fragrans likes sunshine, but also can resist shade. In full light, it has lush foliage and dense flowers. In the shade, its branches and leaves are sparse and flowers are scarce.
