Magnolia Grandiflora - Evergreen Magnolia

is one of the loveliest flowering trees in summer.

Glossy green leaves with felty brown undersides show off pale cream flowers with a fresh fragrance - cool as cucumber. Flowering from July onwards into a mild autumn.

They are fairly slow growing and love a sheltered sunny site with well-drained soil. Traditionally planted against a sunny wall they make wonderful stand alone specimens too.

The variety of Magnolia grandiflora 'Goliath' flowers when younger than the species.

Available as standards (12-14cm girth), small (125cm tall) or large bush trees (3-3.5m).
