Magnolia Goldfinch

Common Name:
Goldfinch Magnolia

Description:
Magnolia Goldfinch is a rare and elegant deciduous magnolia known for its soft, primrose-yellow, tulip-shaped flowers. Blooming in late winter to early spring before the foliage emerges, its delicate, lightly fragrant flowers stand out against the bare branches, creating a stunning seasonal display. The green leaves follow, turning golden in autumn before falling. This upright, compact tree thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers full sun to part shade. Goldfinch is an excellent choice for small gardens, feature planting, or as a focal point in a mixed landscape.
