Magnolia 'Black Tulip' (Magnolia Tree)

Magnolia 'Black Tulip' (Magnolia Tree) Details

“Black Tulip” is an outstanding variety of Magnolia due to its spectacular flowering and tidy form. It bears masses of mildly fragrant, burgundy-red flowers in spring. The flowers are borne on the naked stems before the foliage emerges, providing for both a dramatic and colourful display. The lush foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to become a darker green, then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. It grows with a vase shaped habit to about 8 m tall and 4 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. This tree grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and short periods of dry. “Black Tulip” makes for a fantastic specimen and is commonly included in a mixed planting, trimmed into a hedge, or planted to border an entrance. The beauty of this tree will please no matter where it is used.
