Our new stock is growing! New stock will be available 1st September 2025.About this product
Magnolia grandiflora Praecox is an evergreen Magnolia sometimes called ‘Goliath’. It is hardy enough for the southern half of the UK but prefers a sheltered south-facing location to keep its lush evergreen crown well furnished with its large ridged leaves, which are a very distinctive dark green above and rusty brown below.
Magnolia grandiflora Praecox blooms at an earlier age than Magnolia grandiflora Gallissonniere, usually flowering in its third year. It will flower throughout the summer, producing blossoms up to 30 cm wide from June to September, depending on the weather.
Magnolia grandiflora types are always more open in habit in the UK compared to the continent, where the summers are consistently warmer.
They thrive on most free-draining soils, from neutral to acid, and their large, supersized creamy white flowers are both fragrant and stunning.
