The vivid cool blue blossoms of this 20' Bignonia from Brazil are a welcome sight from January - August . It is a lovely tree with greyish bark and handsome feathery leaves that resemble ferns, forming a canopy overhead. Once finished blooming it sets long, brown seed pods which are sometimes used in for jewellery in Brazil. A great tree for landscape or street tree. Eye catching, bright red, exploding fireworks of puffy-like flowers grace this beautiful shrub from Bolivia.
Foliage is feathery with an upright growing habit.
Grows 2 to 4'. Temperature 35 degrees and up. Foliage is glossy green. The ylang-ylang is cultivated in the Comoros Islands, Asia and Hawaii for the perfume industry. The intense fragrant and ivory-colored , waxen quality of petals indicate their relationship of Michelia to Magnolias.
