This exquisite and beautifully fragrant plant offers vibrant and head-turning blooms that are shown off to perfection on the spreading bush as they appear before its dark green leaves in the late spring. The foliage turns an attractive golden brown in the autumn before falling into winter dormancy, making way for a new display in the following season.
This small, bushy tree can reach up to 6m (20ft) tall by 6m (20ft) wide and is easily pruned to keep within an allotted area. This makes this gem an ideal choice for gardens of all sizes, as it can take up as much or as little room as desired.
The flowers aren’t just stunning in their bright white and pink colour array, they’re also beautifully fragrant and plentiful, ensuring your garden or patio space is adorned with vibrant blossoms that are sure to be the talk of the town every spring.
Amazon shoppers who picked up this must-have plant have bestowed plenty of praise, with one 5-star reviewer writing: “Since buying this magnolia. In May. At first glance I thought it won’t last. Now 2 months on. It grown 2 feet. And bushed out.”
Another chimes in: “It was tiny when I bought it but is a healthy plant and has grown a lot. There are no flowers yet, but that’s usual. Hopefully, this year.”
One less than thrilled shopper left this 3-star reviewer, noting: “it was tiny when i bought it but is a healthy plant and has grown a lot …..no flowers yet but thats usual ,hopefully this year.”
Though other customers have been quick to disagree with this, as one buyer beams: “Some of the reviews were off putting, but I ordered anyway. So pleased I did. Plant came well packed, not very happy with being in a box, but perked up when put outside in the fresh air and looks healthy.”
