Magnolia Sweetheart

Magnolia Sweetheart Details

Magnolia Sweetheart is a popular deciduous tree due to its spectacular flowering. Red-purple buds open in spring to reveal fragrant, cup shaped flowers that are a lovely shade of pink. The blooms appear just before the foliage is borne. The leaves emerge mid-green in spring, age to dark green, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. It typically grows to 8 m tall and 5 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 frost and cool climates. Magnolia Sweetheart is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, or planted as a cluster for a stunning display. The beauty of this tree will please no matter where it is planted.
