In fact, Osmanthus fragrans does not necessarily die after flowering. The death may be because the fertilizer was stopped during the flowering period and a large amount of nutrients were consumed. After the golden edge Osmanthus fragrans blooms, the branches and leaves will sprout and grow, and will continue to consume nutrients.
