Magnolias are a popular and diverse group of deciduous and evergreen flowering trees. While they are grown primarily for their spring or summer blooming flowers, they also provide great architectural interest and form.
Deciduous magnolias typically bloom in spring and very early summer are can have flower colours ranging from pure white, to yellow, pink and even deep purple or crimson. Flower shapes on deciduous magnolias are either star or strap-like or cup and saucer shaped
Evergreen Magnolias keep their glossy green leaves year round and are highlighted with beautiful fragrant, large white flowers in summer. While hardy in our climate, evergreen magnolias should be given some protection from harsh winters and excessive snow loads.
