Magnolia 'Spectrum' – Magnolia 'Spectrum'

View prices and availability
Medium-size tree, initially with a regular, ovoid crown, later becoming much broader and eventually nearly round. Eventual height approx. 9 m. It is a seedling sister of M. ‘Galaxy’ and with ‘Spectrum’, too, the flower buds only develop in spring, so they cannot freeze in the winter. The flower buds are bright reddish purple. The open flowers are dark pinkish red on the outside but lighter in colour on the inside. They stay narrow and rather crescent-shaped for a long time, but eventually open to a broad saucer shape. Good tree for use in residential areas, thanks also to the pronounced colours and profuse blossoms.
Good news: the vast majority of our range is immediately available from container stock. A few varieties that are only available as field-grown trees will be delivered from November 2026 onwards. We will let you know in advance per order which trees will arrive when.
