Origin and Historical Background A treasured hybrid with origins in Southeast Asia, the Magnolia × alba (White Champaca) has been cultivated for centuries, famously gracing temple gardens and royal courtyards. Its history is steeped in reverence, where its flowers were used to create fragrant garlands and scent the air during serene ceremonies. Owning one is to partake in a long tradition of appreciating one of nature's most perfect perfumes.
Health and Environmental Benefits The White Champaca is a multi-sensory therapeutic plant.
