Winter Blooming Magnolias, Spring Blooming Magnolias
Prized worldwide for the beauty of their exquisite flowers and majestic forms, Magnolias are beloved harbingers of spring, with their parade of showy, fragrant blooms, often on display before they leaf out.
While some Magnolias can be large shrubs or trees that could swallow up the average garden, there are quite a few Magnolia cultivars of smaller stature that would fit small yards.
Here is a list of Magnolias which are more modestly sized and bloom at an early age. Most of them are easy to grow and require little maintenance. Plant one of these hardy flowering trees and bask year after year in its glory!
