Magnolia ‘Emperor’

Another beauty; bred by revered New Zealand breeder Vance Hooper; and a true monarch of the magnolia world. Magnificent with its bountiful display of dark pink flowers that grow to an impressive 30cm diameter; ‘Emperor’ puts on a stunning early spring display. Glossy green leaves add a lovely background to a second round of flowering in summer. ‘Emperor’ is perfect as a garden feature tree but also wonderful in containers on the terrace. Plant in moist free draining; fertile soils with full sun for at least half the day. Winter hardy to -15 ºC. Deciduous.
