Magnolia laevifolia

Magnolia laevifolia Details

Magnolia laevifolia is grown for its pristine flowers and complementary foliage. This evergreen shrub produces masses of pure white flowers through spring and summer. The fragrant blooms are produced amidst the glossy, dark green leaves which affords a fantastic contrast of colours. It typically grows to 3.5 m tall and 2 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary which encourages new growth. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of moderate frost, cool climates, and short periods of dry. Magnolia laevifolia is commonly added to a mixed planting, grown as a specimen, maintained in a container, used in “white” and cottage gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas.
