Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Port Wine Magnolia Michelia figo
Michelia figo is a refined evergreen shrub valued for its extraordinary fragrance and dense, polished form. Grown to advanced size, it arrives ready to anchor a composition, define a boundary, or deliver immediate sensory presence across a prestige landscape.
Why Port Wine Magnolia
Fragrance: Rich, port wine-scented blooms carry across outdoor spaces with a presence few plants can match.
Evergreen Structure: Dense, glossy foliage holds its form year-round, delivering consistent screening and structure without seasonal gaps.
Advanced Size: Supplied as mature, established specimens, no years of establishment required before impact is achieved.
Versatility: Performs equally well as a standalone specimen, formal hedge, or layered element within a broader planting scheme.
Low Maintenance: Once established, requires minimal intervention, ideal for high-specification projects where long-term performance is non-negotiable.
Ideal Applications
Formal Hedging: Clip to a structured screen or boundary hedge for privacy with a polished finish.
Specimen Planting: Position as a solitary focal point in courtyard or entry settings where fragrance and form are priorities.
Residential Landscapes: A sophisticated addition to prestige residential properties seeking year-round structure and sensory detail.
Commercial & Hospitality Projects: Well-suited to high-traffic outdoor environments where lasting visual quality and fragrance are part of the design brief.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2m

Soil & Drainage: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile, slightly acidic to neutral soil; avoid waterlogged conditions
