Supplied at 150–175cm tall in a 20L pot, it delivers instant structure and charm—ideal for adding gentle colour, elegance, and seasonal interest to gardens of all sizes.

Seasonal Beauty & Colour

Spring: Produces masses of large, blush-pink flowers with a creamy white interior. Blooms appear early—often before the leaves—creating a dramatic display.
Summer: Oval, fresh green leaves form a neat canopy, offering light shade and a soft, lush backdrop.
Autumn: Foliage develops warm, mellow tones before falling, bringing subtle seasonal colour.
Winter: A clean, architectural branching structure adds shape and interest to winter landscapes.

Structure & Growth

Height & Spread: Typically reaches 4-8 metres tall and 2.5–4 metres wide over time, making it excellent for small to medium gardens.
Habit: Upright yet graceful with a gently rounded crown.
Flowers: Large, lightly scented goblet blooms (up to 12–18cm), soft pink with white interiors—classic Magnolia beauty.

Planting & Care

Position: Best in full sun or light partial shade.
Soil: Thrives in fertile, moist but well-drained soil; prefers neutral to slightly acidic conditions. Avoid chalk unless well improved.
Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK, with strong flower performance even in cooler springs.
