Magnolia x soulangeana 'Black Tulip' pbr

Common Name: Magnolia ‘Black Tulip’ PBR

Description:
Magnolia × soulangeana ‘Black Tulip’ PBR is a striking deciduous magnolia, prized for its dramatic, deep burgundy-purple, tulip-shaped flowers. The large, velvety blooms appear on bare branches in late winter to early spring, creating a bold contrast against the landscape. Occasionally, a second flush of flowers may appear in late summer. This compact, upright-growing magnolia is ideal for feature planting, small gardens, and large containers. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Black Tulip’ prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a sunny to partially shaded position. It is frost-tolerant and requires minimal pruning, making it an elegant yet low-maintenance addition to any garden.
