Description

Michelia figo

This magnolia features small shiny deep-green leaves, with heavily scented purple and cream magnolia-style flowers in spring. It is sometimes called the Banana Shrub as the flowers have a banana-like fragrance. The Port Wine Magnolia is known for its highly fragrant perfume when in flower, particularly at night. Usually evergreen, but can be slightly deciduous in very cold areas and is usually frost tolerant.

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.
