When do osmanthus flowers bloom?

The editor will tell you about when osmanthus flowers bloom and share some small green plant maintenance experiences on why the osmanthus tree blooms late, with the specific details as follows:

Every August in the lunar calendar, many flower enthusiasts' osmanthus flowers bloom and fill the air with fragrance. However, some flower enthusiasts' osmanthus flowers bloom early, like now. So, flower enthusiasts are纠结, if the osmanthus blooms early, can it still bloom in autumn? Will it not bloom in autumn? The osmanthus that blooms now can still bloom in autumn, as long as three things are done properly.

Why do osmanthus flowers bloom early

Osmanthus flowers usually bloom in autumn. If your osmanthus flowers bloom early, in summer, there are two reasons:

1. Planting a variety of osmanthus that blooms in all seasons

The osmanthus that blooms in summer is likely to be a multi-seasonal blooming variety, known as "osmanthus that blooms in all seasons." As long as the temperature is suitable and the maintenance is proper, it can bloom in all seasons (not continuously for four seasons, but potentially blooming in each season with each bloom lasting about a month). The osmanthus that blooms in all seasons has a certain pattern, for example, if it bloomed in July last year, it might bloom in July this year. However, its blooming period is not fixed and might bloom in August this year if it didn't bloom in July last year.

2. Abnormal climate

When osmanthus flowers bloom depends greatly on the local climate conditions. If the climate is abnormal this year, it is very likely that the osmanthus will bloom early. Plants are sensitive to climate change, and sometimes even if we don't feel any abnormalities, they may exhibit some abnormal behavior. If your osmanthus grows healthily and blooms significantly earlier this year, the factor of climate change is relatively large. In addition to climate factors, early blooming of osmanthus is also related to maintenance. However, the impact of maintenance is not as significant as that of climate, with climate factors being the primary cause.

Can osmanthus bloom in autumn if it blooms early

If the osmanthus blooms two to three months early, it can still bloom in autumn with proper maintenance. Even for common varieties of osmanthus, which bloom only once a year, the possibility of blooming again in autumn is very high if the blooming period is early. It takes about three months for the osmanthus to go from flower bud differentiation to blooming. The osmanthus that blooms in June and July has plenty of time to differentiate new flower buds and bloom in September and October. Therefore, healthy growth and early blooming osmanthus can still expect autumn flowers.

How to care for early-blooming osmanthus

Control light exposure

After the early-blooming osmanthus flowers, it is necessary to control the light exposure. If the temperature in the area is relatively high (usually high temperatures do not bloom), the potted osmanthus should be appropriately shaded or kept in a semi-shaded place to prevent sunburn. If the temperature in the area is not too high, it is necessary to ensure adequate light exposure. Good light is more conducive to flower bud differentiation and growth, increasing the likelihood of blooming again in autumn.

Reasonable fertilization

After the osmanthus flowers, it is necessary to apply a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer at the right temperature to promote new flower bud differentiation and growth. If fertilization is neglected, the nutrients consumed by blooming may prevent the formation of new flower buds. If the temperature is high after the flowers fade, wait for the temperature to drop a bit before applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to encourage reblooming. Osmanthus flowers love fertilizer; a lack of fertilizer often results in poor flowering, with less flowers and faint fragrance. Sufficient fertilizer ensures a rich fragrance.

Control watering

After the osmanthus flowers, it is necessary to control watering and dry the plant appropriately. Dry cultivation can prevent root rot, as the sun at the end of summer can still be scorching. It also helps with flower bud differentiation, allowing for another bloom in autumn. If watered too much, once the roots are damaged, it is difficult to bloom in autumn, and the overall condition of the plant may deteriorate, eventually leading to leaf drop and death.

In most cases, there is nothing wrong with the osmanthus itself, and it can bloom again in autumn if it blooms early. The osmanthus here started blooming from the end of June to the beginning of July and hasn't fallen much yet, but it will definitely bloom again in October, with a larger number of flowers and a strong fragrance.
