Common Name: Inspiration Magnolia

Description: The Inspiration Magnolia (Magnolia 'Inspiration') is a captivating evergreen hybrid resulting from the cross between Magnolia doltsopa and Magnolia laevifolia. This small tree is cherished for its dense, bushy form and highly fragrant, cup-shaped white flowers that emerge from furry, copper-colored buds. Flowering primarily occurs from mid to late spring, with blossoms unfurling in abundance, offering a delightful fragrance that enhances any garden setting. The dark green, glossy foliage provides a lush backdrop to the pristine blooms. In Melbourne's climate, the Inspiration Magnolia thrives when planted in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade exposure. Regular watering is essential, especially during the establishment phase, to maintain optimal growth and flowering.
