An award winning small deciduous magnolia with a rounded habit. Known for its consistent and reliable performance, attractive appearance and wonderful flowers. Fast growing, generally healthy and hardy with the flower buds often appearing earlier than other cultivars.

Plant in a sunny sheltered position. South, West and East facing is best to keep the buds safe from frost. Suitable for most gardens and can be kept in a large pot for some years. Magnolias are happy in clay, sand and loam soil, with a preference for slightly acid soil. Water well in dry weather.

Minimal pruning required. Best in late winter/early spring, although do not prune when freezing. Prune the wayward or crossing branches to maintain a healthy framework. Some minor prune in summer/autumn can be done to prevent the sap bleeding.
