Magnolia Pristine

Common Name:
Pristine Magnolia

Description:
The Pristine Magnolia (Magnolia 'Pristine') is a deciduous tree renowned for its elegant, pure white, tulip-shaped flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring, before the emergence of its lush green foliage. This hybrid, a cross between Magnolia denudata and Magnolia stellata 'Waterlily', combines the best traits of its parents, offering a stunning floral display and a graceful form. In Melbourne's climate, it thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils, preferring full sun to part shade. While it is moderately drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during extended dry periods will promote optimal growth and flowering. The Pristine Magnolia's compact size and striking blossoms make it an excellent choice for small to medium-sized gardens, providing a focal point during its blooming season and contributing to the landscape's beauty throughout the year.
