Magnolia Heaven Scent - 140-180cm, 10lt

Magnolia Heaven Scent is an elegant, slow-growing deciduous shrub or tree of upright habit, more spreading as it matures, dense, ovate to round, capriciously growing crown and glossy, dark green leaves. Very attractive, highly fragrant, goblet-shaped, lilac-purple to purple-pink flowers, fading to pale pink, bloom in spring and early summer on bare branches before the leaves emerge. Magnolia Heaven Scent can tolerate a wide range of soils, but prefers fertile, slightly acidic, moist but well-drained soils, in full sun or partial shade. It is resistant to frost but needs to be sheltered from harsh, drying winter winds. Late frosts may damage flower buds. Low maintenance plant, doesn’t require much pruning. Magnolia Heaven Scent is a cross of Magnolia x veitchii and Magnolia liliiflora 'Nigra'. It’s a wonderful, small ornamental tree, perfect for informal, cottage, urban and wildlife gardens. Great as a specimen or planted in groups. Suitable for growing in containers.
