Magnolia Sundance

Common Name: Sundance Magnolia

Description: The Sundance Magnolia (Magnolia 'Sundance') is a deciduous tree known for its striking, large, cup-shaped yellow flowers that bloom in mid-spring, typically from late April to May. These barium yellow blossoms emerge before the foliage, offering a vibrant display against the bare branches. The tree exhibits a neat, upright growth habit with large, coarse green leaves that transition to a copper hue in autumn. It thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and prefers full sun to part shade. In Melbourne's climate, providing a sheltered site will protect the buds and flowers from cold winds and late frosts, ensuring a stunning springtime display.
