Magnolia salicifolia 'Wada's Memory'

Extremely floriferous and widely popular, award-winning Magnolia salicifolia 'Wada's Memory' is a medium-sized deciduous tree of spectacular beauty when in full bloom. Produced in profusion in early to mid spring, the scented, semi-double white blossoms are tulip-shaped, upward-facing and quite large, 7 in. across (17 cm). Each of them counts 6 long tepals which open fully and gracefully droop at their tips, creating a dramatic floral display. Rich of an orange blossom fragrance, the blooms appear on naked branches before the leaves unfurl. Emerging bronze, the foliage of elliptic leaves fades to green with age before turning gold in fall. This cultivar is known for blooming at an early age. A standout tree in the landscape!
'Wada's Memory' is a cross between M. kobus and M. salicifolia. While very hardy, its blooms, like those of most early blooming Magnolias, are susceptible to late frosts.

3-6 hours of sun per day, with protection from intense mid-day sun

Water sparingly, allowing the mix to nearly dry out between watering.
