Who’s ever heard of fireworks in late April? Your landscape will experience those fireworks and sparks will fly as the masses of star-like flowers featured by this selection explode in a burst of vivid fuchsia buds, opening to radiant purple. ‘Leonard Messel’ is so anxious to put on a show for us that its blooms arrive before the foliage in a staggering display of springtime coloration against a rounded array of gray barked branches. This explosive show takes place each year on a low branched specimen that is upright when young, but rounds in form as it ages. Plant in sun for full effect and give it some space to spread and dazzle you through the years.

Reputed to be one of the best yellow flowering Magnolias available, ‘Sunsation’ may cause a sensation once it unfurls its bloom. Big buds swell but but take their time to open as ‘Sunsation’ is one of the later Magnolias to bloom in early to mid-May. It’s perfect timing as the late bloom avoids most chances of damage from frost and enables its blooming extravanga to completely steal the show after most of the rest of the Magnolias have finished. By the way, the flowers are definitely worth waiting for as they open to a mammoth 7″ wide in a dramatic deep yellow hue with a contrasting blush of purple at the base giving a two-toned effect that is riveting. Plant ‘Sunsation’ in half to full day sun…it’s quite easy to grow but give it space because, like all Magnolias, it’s wide and branches low to the ground.

A big, broad, beauty of a tree that sports the best yellow flowers of any Magnolia! That’s right! You heard me… deep, canary-yellow cup-like flowers that are a stunning 3 to 5″ in diameter! A unique and exciting new Magnolia that you’ll love!

Big, terminal buds swell and open in early spring to reveal long, tapered, cupped, lemony-cream colored flowers before the leaves have even begun to appear.

A great selection that you’ll want to give the room to shine!
