The seeds of Sweet osmanthus can be sown in spring or in autumn. Before sowing, the soil should be adjusted and the base fertilizer should be applied.

After sowing, cover the surface of the seed with a layer of fine sand, then cover it with straw felt, pay attention to shading and moisturizing, and often keep the soil moist, so that the seedlings can emerge in the same year.
