Amazing Magnolias Collection brings you a much-loved tree but in more unusual and exciting varieties. Each produces huge blooms in April and May with a sweet, floral and lightly fruity scent - akin to champagne - to waft through the garden on spring breezes.Magnolia as a species is over 150 million years old and fossils show they were the first flowering plant on the planet - arriving before the bees. They remain largely pollinated by beetles who are attracted to scent and the edible tissues which contain the pollen.This collection is made up of AGM holding x loebneri 'Leonard Messel' with its beautifully rounded shape and large, pink star-shaped blooms, H&S: 8m; 'Star Wars' - another AGM holder with huge rose-pink blooms which are darker at the base, H: 6m S: 4m, and x acuminata 'Elizabeth' with a pyramidal form and striking yellow blooms H: 10m S: 6m. Plants reach mature height over 20 years and can be lightly pruned in midsummer.All prefer moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Hardy deciduous trees or shrubs.
