“Mixed up Miss” is a handsome tree grown for both its foliage and lovely flowers. It grows as a small, shapely tree and carries glossy, dark green leaves which are very aesthetic in their own right. Velvet buds open through late winter and spring to reveal showy and fragrant, cream-white flowers with a lilac tinge. This evergreen typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of cool climates, moderate frost, and short periods of dry though will benefit from being protected while it is establishing. “Mixed up Miss” is commonly grown as a specimen, included in a mixed planting, clipped into a hedge, used in an avenue planting, added to a cottage garden, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
