Early Blooming Magnolias, Deciduous Magnolias
Magnolia ‘Ivory Chalice’ is a large deciduous shrub or small tree with exquisite, upright, chalice-shaped, ivory flowers, 6 in. across (15 cm), in late winter or early spring. Fragrant, the blooms appear on naked branches before the leaves unfurl. The foliage of obovate, dark green leaves turns to a coppery-bronze color in the fall before shedding to the ground. This Magnolia creates a dramatic scene in the garden when in full bloom. While very hardy, its blooms, like those of most early blooming Magnolias, are susceptible to late frosts.
Magnolia belongs to the Magnoliaceae family, which includes several popular species such as the Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), Star Magnolia (Magnolia stellata), Saucer Magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana), and Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana).
‘Ivory Chalice’ is a cross between Magnolia acuminata and Magnolia denudata.
