Magnolia liliiflora
Lily Magnolia
Description
Magnolia liliiflora, often called Lily Magnolia, is a small, deciduous tree or large shrub known for its striking, fragrant flowers. The flowers are goblet-shaped, typically a deep purplish-red on the outside and white or pink inside, adding a touch of elegance to the landscape. The flowers appear in early spring before the leaves emerge, providing a dramatic display. This magnolia prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and protection from harsh winds. It is relatively slow-growing, making it suitable for smaller gardens or as an accent plant. Mulching around the base will help retain moisture. Pruning is minimal and should be done after flowering.
