Description
Magnolia macrophylla ssp. ashei; Upright deciduous trees (really a very large shrub) up to around 30-feet in height. This deciduous magnolia is best known for its huge leaves of two feet or more in length. The large white fragrant flowers (early summer) are equally impressive, up to a foot or more across once the tepals have reflexed out. This stunning landscape plant performs best in rich moist soil with some protection from strong winds. Native to sheltered woodlands in the southeastern U.S. While the foliage is not as impressively large as ssp. macrophylla, this ssp. flowers at a much younger age. (-15) RSBG $22.00-B
