Magnolia Lennei Alba

Magnolia Lennei Alba Details

Magnolia soulangeana Lennei Alba, commonly known as Saucer Magnolia, is grown for its spectacular flowering. It 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. The foliage emerges soon after and is large, dark green, and lush. It typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide and responds well to trimming. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. Magnolia Lennei Alba is commonly grown as a specimen tree, added into mixed plantings, or used in avenue plantings. The beauty of this tree will please no matter where it is planted.
