I was bitten by the osmanthus fragrans bug because of all these posts describing and praising its fragrance, and the idea that you could keep it as a houseplant, but upon reading more posts about it, I see that it's supposed to have a winter dormant period? How does one go about doing that when I have a concrete yard (and therefore can only plant in containers) and no unheated garage or basement? I already succumbed and ordered one, although I believe it's a small one and maybe needs to stay inside regardless. This is the third dormancy surprise I've had this year... first my newly acquired fig, then my hardy jasmine, and now this.
Anyway, any advice is greatly appreciated. I would love the opportunity to experience the fragrance.
Oh, and one more question... there aren't any other surprises lurking about regarding dormancy for some fragrant favorites, are there? In particular, I also ordered a stephanotis because I was curious about it as well...
*sigh* At this rate, curiosity could kill my bank account : )
Thanks!
