About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
The name banana shrub comes from the ripe-fruit fragrance of its blossoms, not from banana-shaped fruit. This member of the magnolia family appears in older garden literature as Michelia figo and is now generally called Magnolia figo. Its small, pale flowers offer a quieter kind of display than the large blooms usually associated with magnolias.
Gardeners value the combination of scented flowers and glossy evergreen foliage. Place a developing plant near an entrance or sheltered sitting area where the fragrance can be enjoyed at close range, or include it in a mixed shrub border. Seed-grown plants may differ in flower shade and habit, so the growing experience includes discovering each plant's individual character.
