Description
An exquisite and unusual Magnolia was introduced in 1977 by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City.
Magnolia x 'Elizabeth' is a selected seedling from a cross between
Magnolia acuminata and
Magnolia denudata. It has very pretty, large, primrose-yellow and slightly fragrant flowers with red stamens in late spring and grows to be a beautiful standalone specimen plant or a striking addition to a border in a sheltered garden!
