Michelia gracipes, commonly known as the Banana Shrub, is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its glossy foliage and highly fragrant, creamy-yellow flowers that emit a sweet banana scent. Blooming in spring and summer, it adds both ornamental beauty and perfume to the garden. Ideal for borders, containers, or formal hedging, it thrives in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. This low-maintenance plant is a superb choice for sheltered gardens across New Zealand.
