Magnolia Felicity

Common Name:
Felicity Magnolia

Description:
Magnolia ‘Felicity’ is a striking deciduous magnolia, prized for its large, elegant blooms that feature a soft pink exterior with a creamy white interior. Flowering in early to mid-spring, its tulip-shaped blossoms appear on bare branches, creating a stunning seasonal display. The lightly fragrant flowers are followed by lush green summer foliage that turns golden in autumn before shedding for winter. Felicity has a compact, upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for small to medium gardens. It thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and performs best in full sun to part shade. Frost-tolerant and low-maintenance, it is a perfect feature tree for Melbourne landscapes.
