Michelia ‘Port Wine’ is a compact, evergreen shrub or small tree known for its rich, burgundy-purple flower buds that open to beautifully scented, creamy flowers with a flush of wine colouring. In New Zealand gardens, it typically grows to around 1 to 3 metres tall, making it perfect as a feature plant, screen, or hedge. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. Its glossy green foliage and stunning blooms make it a standout in any garden setting.
