| Description | Magnolia grandiflora
Greenback Magnolias are closely related to the Little Gem Magnolia, but features leave with green rather than brown undersides (hence their name). They feature very glossy foliage and large cream flowers.
A fantastically lush specimen tree, Greenback magnolias also make a wonderful screening tree.
100 litre | Choisya ternata
Mexican Orange Blossom is so named as it's flowers are of a similar nature and scent to an orange tree! The foliage is a mid to light green and is covered with masses of scented white flowers through Spring and Summer.
This attractive shrub will grow to approx. 1.5 - 2m, but is happy to be clipped to suit. As a result it can be also used as a hedge or screen. It is best grown in full sun or part shade and is reasonably frost tolerant. | Lavandula angustifolia
