Banana shrub 10 Seeds Michelia figo

Michelia figo, commonly known as the banana shrub or port wine magnolia, is an evergreen shrub native to China and Southeast Asia, prized for its fragrant, banana-scented flowers. Belonging to the magnolia family, this compact plant typically grows between 6 to 10 feet tall and features glossy, dark green leaves that provide year-round foliage. The small, creamy-yellow to purple-tinged flowers bloom in spring and summer, often nestled among the leaves, and release a strong, sweet fragrance reminiscent of ripe bananas. Ideal for hedges, borders, or specimen planting, Michelia figo thrives in well-drained soil and partial shade, making it a favorite in subtropical and warm temperate gardens.
