The Magnolia Grandiflora tree has huge velvety creamy white flowers that give off a lemon scent which is quite sublime. Evergreen glossy green leaves with a felted brown underneath are equally magnificent. They are hardy but they thrive best against a tall wall, a house, or a fairly sheltered position. The flowers open over long periods from midsummer well into autumn.

The Grandiflora has a wonderful display of flowers and a heady lemony fragrance. Slow growing and elegant they can be planted as specimen trees in towns and the country. They thrive against a high wall or façade of a house where the dreamy scent will float through windows on summer days.

They like the sun and neutral soil but will tolerate most soils provided it is humus rich. Manure or compost should be added to the soil before planting. Prune only to maintain. All trees benefit from weeds, mulch, and compost in spring.

Supplied in a 7.5 ltr Growers Pot @ approx 1.2m tall.
