Magnolia 'Scented Pearl'

Size: 40cm/45L
Sale price$250.00

Magnolia 'Scented Pearl' is a stunning deciduous magnolia prized for its large, pearl-white, tulip-shaped flowers that emit an intoxicating sweet fragrance in early to mid-spring. Its deep green, glossy foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the blooms, while the tree’s upright, compact form with a rounded canopy makes it an elegant focal point in any garden.

Growing to 4–6 meters tall and 3–4 meters wide, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates light frost and urban pollution. Low maintenance with minimal pruning needs, it prefers moderate watering and moist, well-drained soils.

Ideal for feature planting, ornamental gardens, and scented garden spaces, ‘Scented Pearl’ offers both beauty and fragrance year after year.
