Magnolia x wieseneri

Very rare Magnolia with sensational 10 - 12 cm wide, ivory-white, cerise-centered flowers and the most wonderful perfume in summer. Magnolia x wieseneri is a reasonably easy plant to grow and will flower as quite a young plant!

A delightful, choice garden plant with probably the best scent of any Magnolia flower that we have seen. The flowers will last for a longer period of time if planted in a position sheltered from strong winds.
