This rich pink magnolia has a lovely peachy orange flush. Truly a different color to add to the garden.

Gorgeous, very fragrant bright rose-pink flowers grace this late flowering small tree (M. brooklynensis Woodsman x Tina Durio by Kehr). S/M

The late August Kehr of Hendersonville, NC considered this his finest magnolia hybrid, and we whole-heartedly agree. Upright in form, the blooms are delightfully fragrant. It has two significant attributes. First, it blooms much later than M. x soulangiana so the flowers seldom freeze. Second, the rich pink flowers have a crisp, translucent character to them that makes a dramatic contrast to the duller pink blooms of M. x soulangiana selections. These plants are quite a prize.

Very fragrant, rose-pink flowers 10" in diameter! Dr. Kehr has made another winner hybrid. Voted the 2nd best Magnolia by those in the know. Very upright and vigorous in habit.
