Magnolia De. Festirose 15 Litre Pot

Description
Magnolia ‘Festirose’ is a refined spring-flowering magnolia, admired for its masses of large, tulip-shaped blooms. The flowers, a clear soft pink with darker veining, open on bare branches in early to mid-spring, creating a spectacular display before the foliage unfurls.

Its compact, upright habit makes ‘Festirose’ especially suitable for smaller gardens or as a specimen tree in lawns and borders. The deep-green summer foliage adds presence, while its controlled size makes it easier to manage than many traditional magnolia varieties.

Size & Growth
A slow to moderate grower, typically reaching 3–4 m tall and 2–3 m wide over time, forming a rounded crown.

Growing Conditions
Thrives in full sun or light shade. Prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soil and benefits from shelter against late frosts, which can damage flower buds.
