{"title":"Michelias and Port Wine Magnolia","description":"\u003cp\u003eMichelias are the evergreen, perfumed side of the magnolia family. Port Wine Magnolia has scented Australian gardens for generations, and newer selections such as the Fairy magnolias flower along every stem from late winter. This range covers dense hedging shrubs from 2m to 3m, pyramid forms for screens and espalier, and tall fragrant trees for warm climates. All keep glossy foliage year round. Choose by height first, then by scent and flower colour. Delivered Australia wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose a michelia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor hedging, start with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/port-wine-magnolia-michelia-figo\"\u003ePort Wine Magnolia\u003c\/a\u003e. It grows slowly to about 3m, clips well and carries small cream and maroon flowers with a rich fruity perfume in spring. Coco is a slightly smaller form of it. The Fairy magnolias, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/fairy-blush-michelia-michelia-fairy-blush\"\u003eFairy Blush\u003c\/a\u003e, Fairy Cream and Fairy White, are bushier and faster, 2.5m to 3m, with larger flowers in pink, cream or white. Scented Pearl and White Caviar bring pure white cupped blooms on plants of similar size, and Scented Pearl is also sold trained as an espalier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a taller screen, Bubbles and Inspiration form 4m pyramids. At tree scale, White Michelia and Silver Cloud reach about 8m, with flowers that perfume a whole garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere michelias work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMichelia\u003c\/em\u003e, now classed by botanists within \u003cem\u003eMagnolia\u003c\/em\u003e, suits warm temperate and subtropical gardens best: Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and coastal areas between. The shrub forms also do well in Melbourne and Adelaide with shelter from hot wind and hard frost. White Michelia is the tender one and wants a warm, frost free spot. Give them morning sun or light shade and slightly acidic soil rich in compost. Plant near doors, windows and paths where the scent can be enjoyed, as you would other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fragrant-plants\"\u003efragrant plants\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a hedge, plant Port Wine Magnolia and the Fairy types 80cm to 1m apart. For a looser screen allow 1.5m. Trees need 4m to 5m. Dig in compost, plant level with the soil surface and mulch 7cm deep, keeping it off the stem. They are shallow rooted, so do not cultivate under them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly for the first two summers, then during dry spells. Feed in spring and again in late summer with a fertiliser for acid loving plants. Prune straight after flowering: a light trim keeps hedges dense, and plants tolerate harder shaping than most magnolias. Yellow leaves with green veins point to alkaline soil.
