The Enchanting Night-Scented Magnolia

Bring the magic of a fragrant tropical evening to your home with the Night-Scented Magnolia (Magnolia coco). Native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, this elegant, slow-growing evergreen shrub is a must-have for fragrance collectors and rare plant enthusiasts.

Exquisite Blooms & Intoxicating Scent

Unlike grandiflora magnolias, the Magnolia coco produces small, charming flowers that look like miniature white coconuts before they open. As the sun sets, the petals gracefully unfold to reveal striking burgundy and green stamens. Once open, they release an intoxicating, sweet perfume that drifts through the night air. While the individual blooms are short-lived, usually lasting just a day or two, a mature, healthy plant will bloom repeatedly throughout the warmer months.

Perfect for Patios and Containers

Because of its naturally compact growth habit, the Night-Scented Magnolia is an exceptional choice for container gardening. Placing a potted Magnolia coco on your patio, balcony, or near a window ensures you can fully enjoy its evening fragrance.

Growing & Care Instructions

This rare beauty requires slightly different care compared to full-sun fruit trees:

• Sunlight: Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight. Protect it from harsh, direct afternoon sun which can scorch its delicate leaves.

• Soil: Requires rich, well-draining, slightly acidic soil.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Do not let the root ball dry out completely.
