Michelia-Champaca

Michelia champaca, also known as Golden Champa or Sonchafa, is a highly fragrant flowering evergreen tree renowned for its exotic yellow-orange blooms and cultural significance in South and Southeast Asia. This ornamental tree is cherished in temple gardens, spiritual landscapes, and home gardens for its beautiful flowers, which are often used in worship, perfumes, and traditional ceremonies.

Growing up to 30–50 feet tall, Michelia champaca features a dense canopy of glossy green leaves and produces intensely fragrant flowers throughout the warm months. It thrives in well-drained soil and full to partial sunlight, making it a preferred choice for urban landscapes, large containers, or as a statement tree in gardens.
