Magnolia · Black Tulip

Magnoliaceae · Magnolia x soulangeana

This variety was first cultivated in New Zealand.

Also known as: Tulip Tree

Characteristics

Perennial

Deep purple, goblet shaped flowers provide a knock-out display in late winter and spring before any leaves appear, creating a great contrast against the dark branches of this Magnolia. Foliage appears after flowering and is a matte green colour. This is a woody, deciduous, upright growing tree which flowers from quite a young age.
