Magnolia Cleopatra

Common Name:
Cleopatra Magnolia

Description:
Magnolia Cleopatra is a stunning deciduous hybrid magnolia, prized for its vibrant, tulip-shaped flowers in a rich, deep purple-red hue. Blooming in late winter to early spring, the large, fragrant flowers emerge before the foliage, creating a breathtaking display. The glossy green leaves follow, providing lush coverage throughout the growing season before turning golden in autumn. Cleopatra is a compact, upright-growing variety, making it ideal for small gardens, feature planting, or even large pots. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a sunny to partly shaded position, and once established, it is relatively low-maintenance and resistant to pests and diseases.
