When autumn comes to Setagaya, the scent of osmanthus tempts you at Sakurashinmachi's florist shop.

Hello, this is YOUKAEN, a flower shop in Setagaya.

I think many people are tired of living without good news, such as President Trump being infected with the coronavirus .

Even in such a situation, the wind has become cooler and the osmanthus has begun to bring the scent of autumn. Before I know it, it's October, and my heart tightens a little.

At the flower shop "YOUKAEN" in Setagaya, we are selling stylish autumn gifts that will let you feel the deepening autumn 🌸Detailed information is posted at the end of the article, so please take a look 😀

Osmanthus, synonymous with the scent of autumn, and the desire to commercialize it

In Sakura-Shinmachi, Setagaya, where "YOUKAEN Sakura-Shinmachi Store" is located, the scent of osmanthus begins to gently tickle your nose as you walk down the street.

Osmanthus is often grown in gardens in residential areas of Setagaya, and its scent signals the arrival of autumn every year.

When I see a beautiful flower, I want to turn it into a product✨, which is an occupational disease for florists.

As usual, I feel the same way about Osmanthus.

Osmanthus has a very nice scent, and its cute orange flowers are wonderful , so I think, ``I want to include it in a flower arrangement!''

In fact, Osmanthus flowers don't last long at all 😭

It seems difficult to make a flower arrangement if you think that even if you make it, the flowers will fall apart in the customer's hands.

Because of this background, Osmanthus is a flower that is not commonly found in flower shops despite its name value .

Maybe that's why I'm so excited about this wonderful scent and cute flower shape!

Common sense in the Showa era, the image of the scent of osmanthus is the toilet! ?

Have you ever heard the phrase , "Osmanthus smells like a toilet!" ?

Perhaps people born after the Heisei era are not so familiar with this, but up until a decade ago, I often heard such voices.

In fact, the scent of osmanthus was used as a common toilet air freshener from the 70's to the early 90's.

I was trying to cover up the strong odor of the pump toilet with the strong, sweet scent of osmanthus.

Nowadays, deodorant science has developed, and the idea of ​​``eliminating odors with scent'' has disappeared, and air fresheners with various scents have been created, and the scent of osmanthus has disappeared from toilets.

Wow, what is surprising is the osmanthus flowers that emit such a strong scent🌸

This was the case at my parents' house, and many families actually planted Osmanthus near their toilets.

Nowadays, the scent of osmanthus can make many people's hearts flutter just by smelling it, but when you think about the long period of time when it was a long time, it's a little emotional.

How to care for Osmanthus

The scent of osmanthus wafts through the residential areas of Setagaya, and the reason is simple.

This is because Osmanthus grows everywhere in Japan.

Yes, Osmanthus is a plant that is quite easy to grow and can grow in any home.

This is a plant that will firmly establish roots whether planted in a pot or directly in the garden.

However, you will need a support during the growth process, so please be careful.

Step 1 Plant in spring or fall.

Step 2: Water thoroughly.

Step 3 If necessary, cut off fully grown branches (pruning).

He is a strong child who will grow well with the above three steps! 💪

What kind of soil is good? What is the best way to prune? How sunny is it? If you have any detailed questions, please come to the flower shop "YOUKAEN Sakura Shinmachi branch" in Setagaya.

Our experienced staff will take care of your needs one by one! We also have on-site staff for planting, so please feel free to contact us.

Osmanthus and “You Flower Garden” in Shizuoka Prefecture and Setagaya

Shizuoka Prefecture has designated the ``Mokusei'' tree as the prefectural tree. The giant Osmanthus tree at Mishima Taisha Shrine, which is 13 meters tall and estimated to be over 1,200 years old, is famous nationwide. (This is an Osmanthus that has been around since the Nara period. Amazing!)🌳

Although it is a miso, Yu Hanazono actually has a somewhat deep relationship with Shizuoka Prefecture.

This time, we also have flower gifts using tea boxes from Shizuoka Prefecture as autumn gifts for a limited time.

A cute tea box that will make you feel warm. It is filled with flowers in autumnal colors. This is a gift that anyone can enjoy.
