Mercury™ Magnolia
(Magnolia ‘NCMX1’ PPAF)
A unique and exceptional magnolia.
- Refined, upright form – ideal for use as a street or specimen tree.
- Blooms very late, often a month after typical M. soulangeana, thereby avoiding late spring frosts.
- Has huge, fragrant flowers – red in bud and opening to a bright lavender pink.
