Magnolia Sunsation - New, Rare Tulip Tree with Golden Blushed Flowers - 80-120cm Plant

Magnolia Sunsation is a brand new variety originally bred in the USA, it's rare and hard to come by throughout Europe, let alone the UK, but we have a limited quantity of some good quality stock available.

Later flowering than many Magnolia varieties, it generally starts in late April and continues right up to early summer. This blooming period comes as a bonus in gardens that are prone to late frosts as it means the flowers are not affected by any late cold snaps in spring.

The large Goblet shapes flowers 15-20cms (6-7inches) in size are a glorious sight to behold, carried on robust compact growing shrubs or small trees, generally growing 2-3 metres (6-10ft) tall over time, and eventually reach double this height over a couple of decades if you do not prune.

Unique in appearance, Sunsation's flowers appear as golden goblets, blushed rosy pink at the base, providing a bright and unusual appearance. These star over the plants for several weeks before making way for the foliage. A truly magnificent new variety for it's abundance of flowering combined with the warm and unusual colouration.

Supplied fresh from our cold store as a bare root tree with an overall height of around 80-120cm, perfect to plant and establish this summer.
