Michelia figo is a dense and multi-stemmed grower, with glossy, pale-green leaves that extend down to the ground. Small yellow and pink flowers are hidden among the leaves and release a fruity fragrance from late spring through summer. Michelia figo is ideal for hedging, can be pruned into any shape, or grown as a specimen tree. It is evergreen and native to China and probably originated in cultivation.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
