Magnolia Yellow Lantern - Bare-Rooted

Magnolia Yellow Lantern is a captivating variety of magnolia, celebrated for its striking yellow flowers and graceful growth habit. This deciduous tree is known for its unique floral display and elegant form, making it an exceptional choice for any garden.

Magnolia Yellow Lantern is perfect for gardeners looking to introduce a splash of bright colour and refined beauty to their landscape. Its large, lantern-shaped, pale yellow flowers appear in early spring, creating a stunning focal point that suits various garden styles, from cottage gardens to formal gardens. The lush, dark green foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the soft yellow flowers, enhancing the overall visual appeal.

This magnolia thrives in areas with full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Consistently moist soil, especially during dry spells, is essential for healthy growth and prolific flowering. Allow adequate spacing for its mature size, typically reaching 4-5 metres in height and 3-4 metres in width, ensuring it has room to flourish.

In the garden, Magnolia Yellow Lantern is best planted in sheltered positions, protected from strong winds that can damage its delicate flowers. It begins to flower from an early age and has a long flowering period from early to mid-spring. Its large, pale yellow flowers provide a prolonged display of colour.
