An outstanding American selection, raised at the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, in the late 1930s.
An outstanding American selection, raised at the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, in the late 1930s and the winner of more horticultural awards than you can shake a stick at!
Very numerous velvety flower cases become noticeable after Christmas suggesting the promise that spring is around the corner.
This Magnolia does well in all soils- including chalky ones.
Small and of rounded habit, it has large, fragrant white flowers in spring that are produced in great abundance.
Very attractive in both parks, hard areas and in my garden.
Normally a banker for Mothering Sunday, which gets my two out of gail!
Mature height: 5-10m
