Michelia 'Lemon Fragrant' is a tidy, pyramid-shaped cultivar that features appealing, fresh-green foliage. It produces a profusion of large, cream-white, star-shaped flowers with a delightful lemon scent throughout the early spring and for an extended period. It is versatile and can be used for hedging, trimmed into any desired form, or grown as a distinctive tree. Michelia 'Lemon Fragrant' is evergreen, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Michelia x foggii 'Bubbles' and Michelia foveolata. 'Lemon Fragrant' was developed before 2009 by Thirkettle Nurseries in Nelson, New Zealand (PVR 3144).

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.
