Magnolia ‘Purple Sensation’
A very fine new addition from Ian Baldick in NZ, where he crossed M. liliiflora 'Nigra' with M. campbellii 'Lanarth' and produced a plant similar to the fabulous 'Lanarth', but that flowers later, helping to avoid late spring frosts. Glowing deep lilac-pink cup and saucer flowers borne at a young age on a tree to only 8m high.
