Magnolia Iiliiflora Holland Red

Common Name: Holland Red Lily Magnolia

Description: The Holland Red Lily Magnolia (Magnolia liliiflora 'Holland Red') is a deciduous shrub or small tree, prized for its abundant, tulip-shaped flowers that bloom in spring. The deep reddish-purple blossoms emit a subtle spicy fragrance, creating a captivating display. This cultivar blooms later than most other magnolias, reducing the risk of frost damage to the flowers. It has a bushy, erect growth habit, making it suitable for smaller gardens or container planting. The plant thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soils that are slightly acidic. A sunny aspect in a protected position is ideal, though it also tolerates partial shade. Protection from strong winds will enhance and prolong the flowering season. In Melbourne's climate, the Holland Red Lily Magnolia is well-suited, offering a vibrant and fragrant addition to gardens and landscapes.
