Description
Magnolia x foggii 'Allspice', also known as Michelia 'Allspice', is a bush related to evergreen magnolias with an exotic appearance. It bears large shiny leaves. From spring to summer, it is adorned with beautiful cream-white flowers with a powerful fragrance. The flowers emit this aroma from a young age. Not very hardy (-7°C (19.4°F)), it prefers mild and humid temperate climates. Its moderate growth is perfect for growing in a large pot, which allows this beautiful plant to be adopted in colder regions. It only thrives in partial shade or light sun, in humus-rich, non-calcareous soil that does not dry out.
Magnolia 'Allspice' belongs to the Magnoliaceae family, which includes fossils dating back 90 million years.
This beautiful 'Allspice' variety is the result of hybridisation between Michelia figo and M. doltsopa. Slow-growing, the bush has a relatively compact pyramidal habit. By the age of 10, it will reach approximately 2.5m (8ft) in height and 1.2m (4ft) in spread. It develops tough and glossy, dark green foliage with a slightly lighter underside. Its leaves are larger than those of other Michelia varieties. The flowering period extends from May to July, and its timing varies depending on the climate. The cup-shaped flowers, measuring 4 to 6cm (2in) in diameter, emerge from elongated brownish-yellow buds, with 8 cream-white petals. These flowers resemble miniature Magnolia grandiflora blooms. The flowering is particularly fragrant.
It grows in the ground in regions spared from severe frosts and dry, hot summers. Plant in bright, partial shade, well protected from east and north winds, which could quickly damage its beautiful foliage and compromise its flowering. Its uniqueness allows it to be used as a standalone plant, highlighted in an exotic setting, with neighbours such as Fatsia japonica, Fuchsia regia, and perennials like Hosta 'Jurassic Park', as well as ferns like Athyrium otophorum var. okanum or Woodwardia. Its dense habit also allows it to be grown in a large pot. Its growth will then be more restricted, and it will be necessary to ensure that the substrate does not dry out. It then becomes a very beautiful conservatory plant!

Planting and care
It prefers humus-rich, slightly acidic soils (pH 6.5), rich in organic matter, always slightly moist but without stagnant humidity. It appreciates semi-shaded exposures and dreads scorching exposures. It can be grown in open ground in regions with mild winter climates, not too hot and slightly humid in summer, as its hardiness does not exceed -7°C (19.4°F). Mulch the base to maintain moisture in summer, if necessary, and water abundantly every 15 days in case of prolonged drought, preferably with non-calcareous water. This bush does not tolerate transplantation well, so choose its location carefully once it is established.
Its appearance and growth will be very different depending on whether it is planted in open ground or in a container, and whether it grows in shade or in a sunny exposure. When it develops in shade, its habit is more open and flexible, its foliage darker. If it is exposed to the sun, it will show a more compact habit, denser foliage, and smaller and lighter green leaves. When grown in a large container, its growth is limited. Watering should be followed in summer and reduced in winter. In a cold greenhouse or conservatory, water (without limestone) should be applied only when the substrate is dry to a depth of 1cm (0.4in) on the surface. The bush can be easily pruned after flowering. In late winter, before the start of vegetation, remove dead wood and tangled branches to keep only vigorous branches and maintain a beautiful habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
