Magnolia denudata 'Forrest's Pink'

Hardy and incredibly pretty, Magnolia denudata 'Forrest's Pink' is a small deciduous tree with exquisite, bubble gum pink flowers, flushed deeper pink at the base of their tepals. Upright and cup-shaped when borne, the fragrant flowers, 4-8 in. long (10-20 cm), gracefully open their 9-11 tepals as they mature, resembling lilies. The blooms appear on naked branches in early spring, before the ovate leaves unfurl. Similar to its parent, Magnolia denudata, 'Forrest's Pink' creates a very dramatic scene in the spring garden and makes a wonderful specimen, as a single-trunked or multi-stemmed tree. While very hardy, its blooms, like those of most early blooming Magnolias, are susceptible to late frosts.

Water moderately, allowing the top 3cm to dry out between watering.
