Magnolia virginiana - Swamp magnolia 60/80

Discover the splendour of Magnolia virginiana, an enchanting addition to any garden landscape.

With origins in wetlands of North America, this leafy beauty offers a unique charm that is partially retained even in colder climates. Magnolia virginiana thrives as a large shrub, often growing into a small, multi-stemmed tree, with smooth grey-brown bark that develops characterful grooves as the plant ages.

Young twigs of Magnolia virginiana are pale green and delicately hairy, later transforming to a bare, mature appearance. The leaves, glossy green above and silvery underneath, remain on the branches until late in the season, before dropping their enchanting presence. The saucer-shaped flowers spread a soft lemon scent that caresses the senses, while the elongated fruits with their reddish seeds offer a picturesque contrast.

Whether you live in coastal areas or elsewhere, Magnolia virginiana is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a striking, versatile addition to their outdoor space. Keep in mind that this beautiful species does not tolerate heavy soil and can handle full sun only when the soil is sufficiently moist.
