Fragrant, creamy white flowers, about 4-5 inches wide, seem to bloom continuously from spring through fall on this beautiful compact-sized magnolia. The dark green, glossy leaves with their bronze undersides offer a perfect contrast to the lovely flowers. This spreading tree crows slowly to around 15 feet with a 10 foot spread. This is a good container plant, espalier, screen, or accent. It prefers afternoon shade and appreciates a mulch to keep the soil cooled.
