Fairy Cream Michelia - Michelia ‘Fairy Cream’
Soft cream flowers set this michelia apart from its white and blush siblings, and the perfume is rich and sweet. Michelia ‘Fairy Cream’ is a dense, well branched evergreen hybrid that opens its flowers at the tail of winter and keeps going well into spring, each one emerging from a rust brown velvety bud in the leaf joints along the stems. Glossy dark leaves cover the plant year round, so it works as a scented hedge or a rounded feature shrub anywhere along the coast between Brisbane and Sydney.
Why Fairy Cream Michelia
Cream Toned Flowers: The soft cream blooms read warmer than pure white and sit comfortably against sandstone, timber and warm rendered walls.
Perfume on the Air: The sweet scent carries across a courtyard on still spring evenings, which rewards planting it beside outdoor living areas.
Flowers Along the Stems: Blooms open along the full length of each branch rather than only at the tips, so the display covers the whole plant for weeks.
Full Base: Side shoots keep breaking low on the stems, so a hedge of it stays thick at knee height and never looks leggy.
Clips Cleanly: It takes regular trimming well, and shaping once the flowers fade lets it hold a tight hedge line without losing the following year’s display.
Ideal Applications
Scented Boundary Hedge: Planted down a side boundary, it screens the neighbours all year and adds a perfumed flowering season on top.
Courtyard Specimen: Grown as a single rounded shrub, it brings scent and evergreen mass to a small enclosed garden.
Driveway and Path Screening: Clipped as a hedge beside a drive or entry path, it lines the approach with scented evergreen foliage that greets arrivals.
Sunny Shrub Border: Placed at the rear of a mixed bed, it gives a deep green wall for salvias, lavender and grey leaved plants to stand out against.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.2 to 1.5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 2.5 to 3m
Best Planting Season: Autumn or spring, avoiding the hottest weeks of summer
Soil & Drainage: Open, humus rich loam on the acid side of neutral, with no standing water after rain; lime or alkaline ground needs correcting before planting
Establishment Care: Soak the root ball thoroughly every two or three days for the first six weeks, then once a week until the end of its second summer. Spread leaf mulch over the root zone, clear of the stems, and give a light feed of camellia food as flowering finishes.
