The oval, banana-like leaves, the largest leaves of all northern temperate plants in the New World, grow to an amazing 36 inches. They glisten light green on the surface, silvery gray beneath. In early summer come the sweetly fragrant, creamy-white blooms, forming huge 12-inch shallow cups. Over many years, it will grow 30 feet or so. Plant in full sun or light shade in any humus-rich, well-drained soil. This imposing American native is one tree you will visit regularly, and marvel.
Prized among the magnolia collectors for many reasons. Pristine 4 inch white flowers bloom in abundance in early summer, wafting the sweet fragrance of lily of the valley. Also, they hang upside down, providing the rare experience of walking beneath and staring up into simple, elegant beauty. Ultimately produces and upright 25 foot tree with a rounded crown. Full sun or partial shade, tolerant of heavy soil.
This selection is a late bloomer, but makes a theatrical entrance, with blooms in a rich blend of colors. The deep-yellow flowers with a blush of purple at their base, grow to 7 inches wide, with the handsome leaves soon to follow. This offspring of æWoodsmanÆ and æSun SpireÆ is one of our favorites. It offers a more open, broader habit than æSun SpireÆ.
A remarkable species that grows into a wide, spreading tree. It produces nodding, fragrant, white 4 inch flowers throughout late spring and early summer, followed by colorful, deep pink fruit that split to reveal orange seeds. Tolerant of light shade, though certainly able to withstand full sun in any well-drained soil. Quick to flourish and very long-lived.
This selection is notable for the fragrant fuchsia-pink goblet-shaped flowers, each with 6 slightly twisted tepals. The blooms appear just before the leaves, then linger awhile to keep them fragrant company. æSusanÆ is one of the Little Girl series of hybrid magnolias (M. liliiflora æNigraÆ x M. stellata rosea) developed at the National Arboretum for compactness and later bloom. Blooms 2-4 weeks later than M. stellata.
