Michelia Fairy Peach

Common Name:
Fairy Peach Magnolia

Description:
Michelia ‘Fairy Peach’ is a compact, evergreen magnolia prized for its soft peach-toned, star-shaped flowers and delightful fragrance. Bred for smaller gardens, this refined shrub produces masses of blooms from late winter through spring, often with sporadic flowering at other times of the year in Melbourne’s mild climate. The flowers contrast beautifully against its dense, glossy green foliage, creating year-round appeal. Ideal for sheltered positions, ‘Fairy Peach’ thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and benefits from protection against strong winds and frost when young. Its naturally neat, upright habit makes it perfect for hedging, screening, feature planting, or growing in large pots, bringing elegance and a subtle perfume to outdoor spaces.
