One of the darkest red Magnolias, ‘Vulcan’ is a striking deciduous shrub or small, elegant tree with rich, ruby-red flowers. Blooming in early or mid-spring before the foliage emerges, the magnificent, cup-and-saucer-shaped blossoms are huge, 10-12 in. across (25-30 cm), heavily-textured and create one of the most beautiful sights when in bloom. Fragrant, each bloom counts up to 12 outward curved tepals which are adorned with a touch of white. The foliage of large, obovate leaves is mid-green. ‘Vulcan’ features an upright, narrow habit, particularly when young, making it ideal for small gardens. It starts blossoming at a very young age, with blooms more pink than red but as ‘Vulcan’ matures, its blossoms get redder and redder.
