Also called Banana
Magnolia, ‘Hagiwara’ is a nearly
everblooming Banana Shrub that
flowers from spring through fall
and often in winter in sub-tropical
zones. The attractive, cream-colored
flowers have a sweet banana fragrance
similar to its parent, Magnolia
figo. It makes an ideal potted plant
for northern gardeners or it can
be grown as a landscape shrub in
warmer zones. Formerly known as Michelia figo 'Hagiwara'.
