About Magnolia hybrid ‘Cream Fairy’ PBR – Cream Fairy Magnolia

Mature plants typically reach 3–4 metres in height and 2–3 metres in width.

This variety has a moderate growth rate and is hardy once established. It performs best in full sun to part shade and thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils. Magnolia ‘Cream Fairy’ is frost tolerant and low maintenance, with flowers borne even on young plants. Being evergreen, it provides year-round structure alongside its seasonal flushes of flowers.
