Lagunaria patersonia
Lagunaria patersonia, commonly known as the Primrose Tree, is an attractive, evergreen tree featuring lovely flowers. The showy, single flowers are produced from summer through autumn and start out pink but gradually fade to white. They are great for attracting birds and bees and are complemented with lush, olive-green foliage as it grows to 10 m tall and 6 m wide though. Lagunaria patersonia is commonly grown as a specimen, maintained in a courtyard or cottage garden, added to a mixed planting, or used in an avenue planting.
