Magnolia Galaxy

Common Name:
Galaxy Magnolia

Description:
Magnolia ‘Galaxy’ is a stunning deciduous magnolia known for its spectacular deep pink to reddish-purple, tulip-shaped flowers that bloom in early to mid-spring. The large, fragrant blooms emerge on bare branches, creating an eye-catching display before the lush green foliage appears. Galaxy has a strong, upright growth habit, developing into a well-shaped, pyramidal tree, making it an excellent choice for feature planting in medium to large gardens. It thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and performs best in full sun to part shade. Highly frost-tolerant and low-maintenance, Galaxy is a perfect statement tree for Melbourne gardens.
