Butterflies Magnolia

About this plant

Magnolia 'Butterflies' is a truly exceptional ornamental tree, celebrated for its unique and abundant canary-yellow blooms. Unlike many magnolias, its flowers appear before the foliage, creating a breathtaking spectacle against the late winter and early spring landscape. These upright, goblet-shaped blossoms are a delightful harbinger of warmer weather and add a cheerful burst of color to any garden. Developing into an upright, pyramidal form as it matures, 'Butterflies' is an ideal specimen tree for smaller gardens or as a focal point in a larger landscape. Its relatively moderate size and attractive, deep green foliage provide ornamental interest even when not in bloom. This hybrid cross of Magnolia acuminata and Magnolia denudata combines their best traits, offering both vigor and exquisite floral display. Easy to grow and relatively low maintenance, 'Butterflies' Magnolia is a fantastic choice for gardeners seeking an early-season showstopper. Its delicate perfume and charming appearance make it a favorite among garden enthusiasts and a truly "A Cut Above" selection.

Care & maintenance

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Prune only if necessary, immediately after flowering, to maintain shape or remove dead/damaged branches. Protect from strong winds during flowering to prevent flower damage.
