Product Description
Magnolia sieboldii produces unique egg-shaped buds that open to present large milky white flowers with a prominent crimson bud-like stamen in the centre. These highly fragrant flowers rest against ovate glossy green leaves up to 15cm in length to present a showy display within the summer garden. A fantastic ornamental shrub and one of the hardiest Magnolias, sieboldii bloom later than other Magnolia varieties, producing flowers perpetually from May right through to September, that will subsequently appeal to a number of pollinators such as butterflies. Growing to a mature height of 3m, the compact bushy habit of this deciduous shrub will grow best in a more sheltered spot in the garden and is likely to need little pruning to maintain a good shape. 25-30cm tall plant, supplied in 12cm pot.
