Magnolia sprengeri ‘Marwood Spring’

A relatively new selection from Marwood Hill garden in Devon, this form has deep red-purple flowers, creamy-white flushed purple within, to 15cm across in spring, the contrast of which is stunning. A medium sized, floriferous, upright tree of exceptional beauty, ideal where a spring flowering tree magnolia is wanted, but M. campbellii is out of the question.
