Banana Shrub [Michelia figo]

The Banana Shrub has a unique flower with a strong banana-like scent. While not as fast growing as many others, the Banana Shrub grows into a large hedge when allowed to grow naturally without much pruning. The creamy white flowers of the banana shrub looks like a miniature magnolia flower centered with fuzzy purple stamens.
