Description

 Spectacular white flowers in late spring are pendulous and intensely fragrant, with a prominent rose-crimson central boss that matures into an attractive pink seed pod.

  This small bushy tree reaches 15 feet high and 12 feet wide in 15 years and is, like all Magnolias, pollution tolerant and easy to transplant from containers. Prefers a somewhat acidic, moisture-retentive soil enriched with organics. Plant in a location sheltered from wind and relatively free of roots from other trees and shrubs. Tolerates full sun in the north. In the south it performs best in filtered shade. Zones 5-9.
