Michelia ‘Lemon Fragrant’

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).
