Magnolia Teddy Bear

Magnolia Teddy Bear Details

Magnolia grandiflora Teddy Bear, commonly known as the Magnolia Teddy Bear Tree, is a variety of Southern Magnolia, and is an evergreen tree with spectacular flowering and foliage. It produces large and showy, white flowers through summer with a wonderful fragrance. These are borne amidst the lush, dark green foliage and affords a lovely contrast of colours. It grows densely with a conical shape to about 6 m tall and 3 m wide and can be contained with trimming as necessary. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of moderate frost. Magnolia Teddy Bear makes for a fantastic specimen tree, and is commonly included in a mixed planting, used to border an entrance, planted to soften a bland wall, or planted as a cluster. This tree is both versatile and beautiful which is why it is very popular with landscape designers.
