Is osmanthus absolute supply seasonal, and how should I plan my purchases?
Yes — osmanthus flowers bloom only in autumn (roughly September to November), so new production is concentrated in that window; finished absolute stock is then released throughout the year.
Seasonality & Planning
| Period | Supply status |
|---|---|
| Sep–Nov (flowering) | Peak production, freshest stock |
| Dec–Feb | Stock from current harvest, high availability |
| Mar–Aug | Stock drawdown; fewer fresh batches |
| Year-round | Contracted annual supply possible |
- Plan orders 2–3 months before your production need
- Annual supply agreements reserve tonnage from the upcoming harvest
- Out-of-season demand can still be met from stock, but specific batch lots are limited
We recommend confirming your annual volume before August so your allocation is secured from the new harvest.
