Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the Kosar Devos hybrids. The purple flowers are pointed like M. Liliflora. Our 20' shrubby tree is 60 years old.
This fabulous shrub Magnolia was bred for its hardiness and lateness of bloom (avoiding late-frosts!). This attractive 8-12' specimen features prolific reddish-purple buds which open to fragrant 4-6" flowers in late spring and sometimes a small repeat summer bloom. Coppery autumn leaves are another fine attribute making this US National Arboretum selection a winner! S/M
