Magnolia alba (Michelia) – Magnolia Grove

This is thought to be a hybrid with wonderful perfume. It is difficult to propagate but we have managed to do it after years of experimentation.
It a native plant of Java and is grown throughout South East Asia so it is a little tender and can only tolerate a few degrees of frost. It can be grown successfully in a container where it will flower more profusely as long as it is given fertiliser and water on a regular basis.
Once you smell the delicious perfume you will never forget it. Reputedly to be the base for the perfume “Joy”.
