Description

Alexandrina Saucer Magnolia offers a slightly more upright habit and a stunning two-tone floral display. Its large flowers are a vivid rosy-pink on the outside with a pure white interior, creating a striking contrast. It is a superb, classic choice for a spring specimen tree that delivers a robust and colorful show.

Blooms profusely with large, elegant flowers that are deep pink to purple on the exterior and bright white inside.
Tends to have a more upright, tree-like growth habit compared to the broader, shrubby form of the standard Saucer Magnolia.
Flowers slightly later than some very early magnolias, sometimes helping it avoid the peak of late frosts.
Makes an excellent lawn specimen or garden focal point where its formal structure and showy blooms can be appreciated.
