Magnolia 'Butterflies' (Magnolia Tree)

Magnolia 'Butterflies' (Magnolia Tree) Details

“Butterflies” is an outstanding variety of Magnolia due to its spectacular flowering and tidy growth habit. It bears masses of fragrant, cream-yellow flowers in spring. The showy flowers are borne on the naked stems before the foliage emerges, providing for both a dramatic and colourful display. The lush foliage emerges with mid-green, ages to become a darker green, then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. It grows with a pyramidal shape to about 6 m tall and 4 m wide, and can be trimmed and shaped as necessary. This tree grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and short periods of dry. “Butterflies” makes for a fantastic specimen and is commonly included in mixed plantings in larger gardens. The beauty of this tree will please no matter where it is used.
