Galaxy Magnolia
Unique in form and flower, award-winning Magnolia ‘Galaxy’ is a small deciduous tree adorned with a profusion of dark pink flowers in mid-spring. Opening from deep red-purple buds, the slightly fragrant, large flowers, 8 in. across (20 cm), count 12 tepals, light pinkish-purple outside, paler rose within. Since they bloom late enough, they usually escape the early spring frost damage. ‘Galaxy’ is a single-stemmed, upright tree with ascending branches and a distinct oval canopy of oval, dark green leaves.
Magnolia ‘Galaxy’ results from a cross between Magnolia liliiflora and Magnolia sprengeri ‘Diva’. This Magnolia provides a spectacular and long-lasting display, becoming one of the glories of the spring garden.
