Banana Shrub – Fragrant, Evergreen Garden Favorite

• The Banana Shrub (Michelia figo) is a stunning evergreen shrub prized for its glossy green foliage and uniquely fragrant, banana-scented flowers. Blooming in late spring through summer, the creamy yellow blossoms with maroon edges release a delightful, sweet fragrance reminiscent of ripe bananas. This slow-growing, compact shrub is perfect for hedges, borders, or foundation plantings, adding beauty and fragrance to any garden. Its dense growth habit and tolerance for pruning make it an excellent choice for shaping into a formal hedge or growing as an ornamental accent.
