A new variety from China, Magnolia denudata ‘Yellow River’ also known as ‘Fei Huang’, is a small deciduous tree with exquisite, sweetly fragrant, buttery-yellow flowers. Upright and goblet-shaped when borne, the large flowers, 6 in. long (15 cm), gracefully open their tepals as they mature, resembling lilies. Rich with a fruity fragrance, they fade to creamy white over time while keeping their rich butter-yellow coloration at their base. The blooms appear on naked branches in mid to late spring before the ovate, and fresh green leaves unfurl. Since it flowers late in the season, its pretty blossoms rarely run the risk of damage from late frosts. Like its parent, Magnolia denudata, ‘Yellow River’ creates a dramatic scene in the spring garden and makes a wonderful specimen tree. Slow-growing, this hybrid Magnolia is ideal for small gardens.
