Michelia Acutangula

Chinese michelia, scientifically known as Michelia acutangula, is a striking evergreen shrub native to southern China. It is prized for its fragrant, white or pink flowers that bloom in early spring, adding a delicate beauty to gardens and landscapes. This plant thrives in partial shade and well-drained soil, making it a versatile choice for temperate climates. Its ornamental value has led to its cultivation beyond its native range, where it is appreciated for both its aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits.
