This plant's common name is "false holly", because it is not a holly at all - it is an Osmanthus. The real name is Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki' - Goshiki meaning "five colors". If you are one who loves things that are variegated, this plant is great. It seems to have a different shade of colors each season. An array of colors show up on this plant including green, yellow, pink, red, and cream. Resembling something that a paintbrush has splashed on, this plant shows its colors off remarkably. It is a slow growing evergreen shrub, that could eventually reach over 10 feet. Pair this plant with darker foliage plants, to show off the bright cream flecks of color!
