Native Frangipanis are a fragrant and fast-growing native tree with deep green foliage and yellow or white-yellow flowers.
Native Frangipanis grow into a moderate sized tree can be more dense and bushy with pruning. They enjoy full sun but can manage in part shade comfortably, meaning versatility in gardens, parks, lawns or streets. | Magnolia grandiflora
An evergreen beauty with elegance and class, the 'Super Gem' Magnolia is a newer, compact growing form of the Little Gem Magnolia.
Hand-sized white and heavily fragrant flowers against robust, dark green foliage make this plant a favourite for hedging and feature planting.
Tolerating poor soils, heat and frost, they are an ideal plant for the Melbourne and rural Victorian garden.
