Magnolia x soulangeana 'HoneyTulip' pbr

Common Name:
Honey Tulip Magnolia

Description:
Magnolia x soulangeana 'HoneyTulip' PBR is a stunning, deciduous ornamental tree celebrated for its upright, goblet-shaped blooms in a unique, rich golden-apricot hue. A modern cultivar bred in New Zealand by the esteemed Jury family, this magnolia stands out among the Soulangeana hybrids for its unusual colour and strong, upright form. Flowering in late winter to early spring before the leaves emerge, 'HoneyTulip' produces large, velvety blooms that sit upright on bare branches, creating a striking and elegant display. Ideal for feature planting in Melbourne gardens, it performs best in full sun to part shade with well-drained, humus-rich soil. While slower growing than some other magnolias, it rewards patience with a refined shape and show-stopping floral presence. Its moderate size and non-invasive root system also make it suitable for suburban gardens and larger pots.
