This lovely evergreen, now included in the genus magnolia, grows to 10 ft or more, with shiny, slightly leathery leaves. Needs a warm, protected spot for producing the best flowers, those delicious creations of cream inner petals and and outer petals colored a dusky port-wine -- all with an intense strawberry banana bubble gum fragrance. Sun and well-drained soil with some supplemental water in summer. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.
