Brachychiton Magenta Bells Grafted

Common Name:
Magenta Bells Kurrajong

Description:
Brachychiton ‘Magenta Bells’ (grafted) is a spectacular, grafted ornamental tree celebrated for its vibrant magenta-pink bell-shaped flowers that appear in abundance through late spring to early summer. A selected hybrid form, this cultivar combines the hardiness of the Brachychiton genus with an exceptional floral display, making it a standout feature tree for streetscapes, large gardens, and open landscapes. The flowers emerge in dense clusters before or during leaf flush, often creating a dazzling canopy of colour. Its foliage is typically lobed and lush green, providing attractive coverage through the warmer months and some leaf drop in cooler conditions. As a grafted tree, ‘Magenta Bells’ maintains a more uniform shape and size, with improved flowering and adaptability. Well-suited to Melbourne's climate, it is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in full sun with free-draining soils. Minimal maintenance is required, and it responds well to occasional pruning to shape. This tree attracts nectar-feeding birds and creates a bold statement in any setting.
