Saucer Magnolia Flower
Magnolia grandiflora Ferruginea (Southern Magnolia Ferruginea)
Magnolia grandiflora Ferruginea, commonly known as Southern Magnolia, Grand Ferruginea, or Bull Bay, is a popular, evergreen variety due to its stunning flowers. Flower buds open through late spring and summer to reveal large and showy, fragrant, cream-white flowers. This evergreen grows compactly with a pyramidal shape to about 20 m tall and 10 m, though it can be contained with trimming. Magnolia Ferruginea is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting in a large garden, or used in an avenue planting.
Magnolia Lennei Alba (Magnolia soulangeana Lennei Alba)
Magnolia soulangeana Lennei Alba, commonly known as Saucer Magnolia, bears masses of large and showy, semi-double, fragrant, ivory white flowers which are borne on the naked stems before the foliage emerges in late winter and early spring. It typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide and responds well to trimming. Magnolia Lennei Alba is commonly grown as a specimen tree, added into mixed plantings, or used in avenue plantings.
