Magnolia ' Leonard Messel' 1m Standard 3L Pot This new variety is the perfect magnolia for a small garden or for patios & terraces, with a neat compact habit that is very easy to grow & care for. In early spring bare stems are smothered in blush pink feathery flowers which open from rose pink buds. The petals are narrow, a little like Stellata' but with a beautiful pink tinge to them & an even more wonderful fragrance. What's more, blooms are much more resistant to late frosts than other magnolias. Mid green leaves appear after the flowers, creating a beautiful ornamental tree that will become a feature in your garden all year long especially in this standard form, creating a ball of flower & foliage atop a long straight stem. Ideal for adding height to displays, this standard form adds structure to beds & borders & is perfect for creating a feature in a decorative pot on a patio. Easy to care for, it needs little pruning except a light trim to keep shape. It likes a sunny spot but isn't too fussy, tolerating most soils &, being fully winter hardy, you needn't worry about it over the winter.
