Magnolia Liliflora Nigra is an extremely popular variety, this compact magnolia is deciduous and will grow to approx 2.5 m tall. Stunning deep purple, scented, upright, tulip shaped flowers are the highlight of this delightful plant and are produced around late Winter/early Spring and can often produce a repeat flush of flowers later in Spring. Suited to full sun or part shade, protect from harsh winds and some watering is required  in the warmer months and you will have a spectacular display.
