Saucer Magnolia 'Alba Superba', Chinese Magnolia 'Alba Superba', Tulip Magnolia 'Alba Superba', Magnolia × soulangeana 'Alba'
One of the most popular deciduous Magnolias, Magnolia x soulangeana ‘Alba Superba’ (Saucer Magnolia) is an upright shrub or small tree with huge, fragrant, pure white, tulip-shaped flowers, which are beautifully flushed purple-pink at their base. The blooms appear on naked branches as the large, oval, dark green leaves begin to unfurl in mid-spring. It creates a very impressive scene in the garden and makes a wonderful specimen flowering shrub or small tree for the landscape. This is an excellent selection for small gardens.
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).
