Magnolia denudata

Magnolia denudata

Magnolia denudata, commonly known as the Yulan Magnolia, is one of the finest spring-flowering trees, prized for its large, fragrant pure white blooms that appear on bare branches before the foliage emerges. The elegant goblet-shaped flowers gradually open into broad, fleshy petals, creating a spectacular display that brightens the garden at the start of the season.

This beautiful deciduous magnolia develops into a broad, spreading shrub or small tree with a graceful habit and attractive mid-green foliage. Its highly scented flowers have made it a favourite in gardens for centuries, while its reliable performance and ornamental value have earned it the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Best grown in a sheltered position with moist but well-drained soil, Magnolia denudata makes a magnificent specimen tree for larger gardens, where its stunning spring display and architectural form can be fully appreciated.
