Deciduous Trees and Shrubs

Magnolia Pinkie is a highly desirable deciduous cultivar, bred from a cross between Magnolia liliiflora ‘Nigra’ and Magnolia stellata ‘Rosea’. Among the smallest of the magnolias, it produces an abundance of elegant, cup-shaped flowers in soft pink-purple tones, fading to pale pink and white toward the tips and interior. Blooming in late winter to early spring, the flowers are impressively large—reaching up to 20cm across—and carry a light, pleasant fragrance that gently perfumes the garden. The foliage is lush green through the growing season, taking on warm bronze tones in autumn. Compact and versatile, Pinkie can be grown as a small tree or pruned into a dense shrub. Its manageable size makes it ideal for smaller gardens, feature planting, or large containers where it can be enjoyed up close.

Soil: Moist, rich, fertile, well-drained. Prefers acidic soils.
