Why we love this plant!

Thriving in South East Queensland’s warm climate, this evergreen shrub produces fragrant creamy-white to pale yellow flowers that resemble traditional magnolias. The dense, glossy foliage makes it well-suited for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant. Its sweetly scented blooms attract pollinators, while its compact form works well in suburban gardens or courtyards. Adaptable to a range of soil types, it performs well in both shaded and sunny positions, providing year-round greenery with minimal upkeep.
