    Pot Size

    Dense, upright evergreen with compact, conical form and distinctive rich-bronze velvet undersides to the leaves. Fragrant white flowers in warm months. Superb for statement screening, formal hedging, feature planting, and large pots.

    Origin: Ornamental selection of M. grandiflora (USA)
    Attracts: Bees & pollinators

    Plant Guide

    What to use me for: Statement screen or narrow formal hedge, strong vertical feature, avenue or paired entry planting; large pots.

    I grow to: 4–6 m tall × 2–3 m wide; can be kept 3–4 m with pruning. Naturally tighter than many magnolias.

    Features: Bronze, velvety leaf undersides, glossy tops; fragrant, creamy-white blooms; naturally dense, columnar habit; clips cleanly.

    Plant Care

    Where to place me: Full sun to part shade with airflow; protect from harsh reflected heat; good in Brisbane’s humidity.

    How far to space me: Tight hedge/screen: 1.2–1.5 m centres. Softer screen: 1.8–2.2 m. Avenue of trees: 3-6 m depending on style.

    Soil Conditions: Free-draining, organic-rich, slightly acidic preferred. Avoid waterlogging; mound if heavy. Mulch, keeping trunk clear. Avoid crowded underplanting.

    Extra-Care: Regular water to establish; then moderate. Light tip prune after flowering to hold shape. Spring feed with slow-release fertiliser for acid-loving evergreens.
