Michelia gracipes is a handsome, evergreen tree that grows as a small and shapely tree, carrying large and glossy, dark green leaves. Velvet buds open during winter and spring to reveal showy and fragrant, cream-white flowers. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Michelia gracipes is commonly grown as a specimen, included in a mixed planting, clipped into a hedge, used in an avenue planting, added to a “white” garden, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
