This plant can take on a shrub appearance with its lower branches intact, or like a tree with the snip of those same branches. Either way, this magnolia has pink buds that bloom to unique, pale pink, star-shaped blossoms in April . It grows best in moist, well-drained soil and lots of sun.


Best grown in moist, rich, well drained soil and protected from high winds. Pinkish Purple Blossoms. Blooms later spring, and some blossoms even reappear in summer. Dark green, leathery leaves and a rounded habit.


Developed at the US National Arboretum in the ’50’s to combat late frosts killing the Magnolia blossoms. Large, fragrant, deep-purple blooms, with pure white insides, come out before the new spring foliage, and keep coming intermittently through the fall. Very hardy. Dark to medium green leaves. Part of the ‘Little Girl’ series.

Flowers produced in mid to late April. Large, abundant flowers – red purple buds open to white and pink on the inside – opening before leaves. A very vigorous grower.
