Category: Plants

This attractive South African flowering tree will intoxicate with its sweetly-scented orchid-like flowers. From early summer, the glossy deep green foliage is smothered with fragrant spikes of sugar-pink blooms. Plant one as a dazzling specimen tree or plant en masse to create a dramatic formal avenue or windbreak. It produces dense shade from the widely-domed canopy. Deciduous or semi-evergreen in cool climates. Grows in coastal areas if protected from salt laden winds. Slow growth rate.

Richard ★★★★★

Planted this in a sunny spot and now the glossy deep green leaves are absolutely covered in those sweetly-scented spikes. The fragrance wafting through the garden is incredible, totally intoxicating.

Aurora ★★★★★

The fragrance from those orchid-like blooms is absolutely intoxicating—my whole garden smells sweet now. The glossy leaves look stunning against the pink flowers.

Hazel ★★★★★

Planted this near my patio and the glossy deep green leaves alone are worth it, but those orchid-like pink blooms are the real showstopper once early summer hits. The sweet scent drifts over the whole yard without being cloying, and it's already drawing in more bees than my other flowering plants.
