Landscape ideas

Butterflies Magnolia is a deciduous tree with a distinctive and polished pyramidal type. Its reasonably coarse texture can be utilized and mixed with other landscape plants that have finer foliage.

This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and needs to only be trimmed after blooming to avoid getting rid of any of the current flowers. It has no substantial negative qualities.

The flowers are held upright like butterflies alighting on branches, for this reason we call it the Butterflies Magnolia. The flowers have a slightly twisted shape that is lovely, actually looking like butterflies! They develop in very late springtime, which guards them from frosts in cool-spring environments.

Butterflies magnolia grows in pyramidal form to around 16 feet high and 10 feet wide in 14 years, eventually reaching 25 to 35 feet high and 10 to 15 feet wide. Extremely durable, it stands up to temperatures to -29 F without injury. Exceptional specimen or accent for bright areas in the landscape where springtime flowers can be appreciated.
