Magnolia gra. ‘Galissonnière’

Are you looking to introduce year-round structure and rich fragrance into your garden space? The Magnolia gra. ‘Galissonnière’ offers magnificent, highly scented white flowers blooming throughout the summer months, extending well into September, providing a long season of colour and perfume.

This evergreen specimen features dense, leafy foliage with an intriguing brown felted underside providing constant visual appeal, maintaining an upright, bushy, sometimes broadly conical or columnar shape. While it occasionally produces cone-like fruits, they are generally not a conspicuous feature in the UK garden, allowing the evergreen leaves and summer blossoms to dominate the scene.

For the best results in our climate, position this tree where it receives full sun or partial shade, preferably against a sheltered south or west-facing wall to guard against frost damage to those beautiful flowers, as it prefers moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil that leans toward neutral or acidic, making it ideal for architectural impact or as a magnificent solitary specimen in larger settings.
