Magnolia 'Margaret Helen'

An unusual small tree, Magnolia 'Margaret Helen' has masses of beautiful large, clear rose-red flowers in Spring. A mature specimen of this Magnolia in our gardens is covered with flower in approx mid April each year and is spectacular.

Magnolia 'Margaret Helen' is an excellent choice for reliable spring colour.
