About this product

Introduced in 1734 this is a well-known native of the USA naturally ranging from North Carolina to Florida, Arkansas, and Texas.

From being associated with south facing wall plantings, Magnolia grandiflora has crept into the wider landscape in southern England in recent years with the advent of warmer summers and not so punishing winters.

Capable of becoming a medium to large tree if given full sun and a sheltered position, it is a magnificent round headed specimen.

The large cream flowers which are delicately scented are borne through summer and into autumn set against dark green almost leathery leaves.

Also known as Southern Magnolia, this tree does best in rich fertile soil and given this will tolerate lime.

Mature height: 7-12m
