Spread Range:

2 m - 3 m

Flower Season/s:

Summer and Spring

Flower Colour/s:

Plant life cycle:

Perennial

Habitat:

A cultivated species that does not have a naturally occurring habitat. Its parent species, Michelia, typically grow in forested and mountainous regions in Southeast Asia, where they thrive in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils.

Leaf information:

Glossy, dark green, oval-shaped leaves

Preferred Soil:

Prefers slightly acidic to neutral well-drained soils, but is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including loamy and sandy soils

This evergreen shrub produces small, creamy white to pale yellow, highly fragrant flowers that fill the garden with a delightful scent. The blooms resemble those of traditional magnolias, while its glossy, dense green foliage makes it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or feature planting. The sweet scent of the flowers, which is reminiscent of port wine or coconuts, adds a sensory dimension to the garden.

Care Considerations:

Requires moderate watering and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Applying organic mulch helps to retain moisture and control weeds. Fertilisation with a balanced fertiliser in spring encourages healthy growth and supports flowering. Light pruning after the flowering period will help maintain its shape and promote denser growth.
