Magnolia macrophylla subsp. ashei

A very rarely seen or offered smaller growing wild form of the Big Leaf Magnolia from the S.E. USA, which makes a large shrub or small tree up to 6m in the UK with big, papery foliage, white on the underside and huge, maroon-blotched, fragrant white flowers in summer, opening to 35cm or more across. This subspecies flowers at a young age (even sometimes in a pot here at under 1m tall!) and is at its best with some shelter for the big leaves. Very hardy and easily grown in good soil.
