Magnolia Spring Snow

Common Name:
Spring Snow Magnolia

Description:
The Spring Snow Magnolia (Magnolia × loebneri 'Spring Snow') is a deciduous hybrid tree cherished for its abundant, fragrant white blossoms. In late winter to early spring, before the foliage emerges, it produces large, star-shaped flowers with pure white petals and yellow centers, creating a striking display. The tree has a compact, rounded form with broad, mid-green leaves that turn coppery-bronze in autumn, adding seasonal interest. In Melbourne's climate, the Spring Snow Magnolia thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring evenly moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils. It is an excellent choice for small to medium-sized gardens, serving as a focal point with its early and prolific flowering.
