Michelia Scented Pearl is grown for its spectacular flowering. This small, evergreen tree produces masses of showy and fragrant, ivory-white flowers through spring. They are produced amidst the lush and glossy, dark green leaves. It grows with an upright and spreading habit to about 2.5 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed and shaped as necessary. This evergreen grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of moderate frost once established. Michelia Scented Pearl is commonly trimmed into a hedge, grown as a pleached hedge, grown as a specimen, maintained in a container, planted around outdoor living areas, or used anywhere a stunning tree is required. It is well suited to cottage and courtyard gardens.

How to grow a Michelia Scented Pearl hedge

The Michelia Scented Pearl hedge spacing is generally 50 cm between the plants. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 40 cm. However, going wider than 50 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a 40-50 cm spacing to achieve an amazing hedge. If large grade plants (25L pot size or more) are purchased, the spacing can be increased to 1 m apart as the plants have been manicured to already be bushy. Start trimming the sides of the hedge once active growth starts to achieve a denser hedge.

When is the best time for planting Michelia Scented Pearl?

The best time to plant Michelia Scented Pearl is during the dormant season, which spans from autumn to spring. However, the optimal timing within this period is spring, as the warming soil encourages better root establishment. This allows the young tree to settle in well before the heat of summer arrives. You can still plant in summer provided careful attention is paid to watering.
