Magnolia Grandiflora Gallisoniensis 20 Litre Pot 175/200cm

Magnolia grandiflora ‘Gallisoniensis’ – Elegant Evergreen with Fragrant Creamy-White Blooms

Magnolia grandiflora ‘Gallisoniensis’ is a distinguished evergreen magnolia variety, celebrated for its large, creamy-white flowers that emit a rich, sweet fragrance during summer. Unlike the species, this cultivar is more compact and upright, making it a superb choice for smaller gardens or sheltered patios where space is limited but impact is desired.

Its glossy, dark green leaves are thick and leathery with warm, rusty-brown undersides, adding striking texture and year-round interest to the garden. Typically growing to around 4 to 6 metres tall and wide, ‘Gallisoniensis’ forms a neat, pyramidal shape that offers structure and elegance in any planting scheme.

Thriving best in full sun to partial shade, and in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil, this magnolia combines classic southern charm with manageable size and delightful fragrance, making it a standout evergreen specimen.
