Magnolia

Originating from a cross between Magnolia kobus and Magnolia stellata, this variety is distinguished by its narrow, slightly twisted petals, which are a soft pink on the outside and white on the inside. It blooms early in spring, filling the bare branches with flowers before the leaves appear, creating a stunning visual spectacle.

It adapts well to different climates and prefers locations with good sun exposure or partial shade. The foliage, bright green in summer, turns golden in autumn, providing interest throughout several seasons. In addition to its ornamental beauty, it is a hardy and low-maintenance tree, ideal for classic or naturalist style gardens.

Magnolia loebneri 'Leonard Messel' not only adds a romantic touch to the landscape, but also attracts attention with its graceful appearance and abundance of flowers. As it is a medium-sized tree with a non-aggressive root system, it can be planted in gardens of various sizes, working well both as a stand-alone focal point and in compositions with other species. It is a perfect choice for those who want an easy-care plant that is resistant to pests and diseases.

It prefers full sun or partial shade and well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Watering should be regular, especially in the first few years after planting, to ensure good development. Although it is cold-resistant, it is advisable to protect it from late frosts, which can affect early flowering.
