Product Description
One of the most popular Magnolia varieties to be found in the UK, 'Rustica Rubra' create large, deep pink Tulip-shaped flowers that open to reveal pale pink hearts from March through to May. Butterflies are attracted to these highly fragrant flowers that make a striking appearance on the bare branches. Shiny, deciduous ovate leaves then develop once the flowers have faded and last through to autumn. This wonderful shrub is compact and will thrive in sunny or partially shaded areas of the garden in acidic-neutral soil. Reaching an eventual height of 2.5m, very little pruning will be required to maintain this stunning variety. 25-30cm tall plant, supplied in 12cm pot.
