Magnolia 'Butterflies' – Magnolia 'Butterflies'

View prices and availability
Small tree with a regular, compact, vertical ovoid or oval crown, up to about 6 m. The dark green leaf sometimes turns slightly yellow in autumn, but this is actually of no decorative value. The flowers open before the leaves develop and are about 7 cm across. The petals are soft yellow to deep yellow, while the stamens are a conspicuous red. Due to the good, deep flower colour, ‘Butterflies’ is one of the better yellow-blossoming hybrid cultivars of Magnolia. Blossoms fairly late in the season, making it less sensitive to night frost damage.
