Magnolia x soulangeana Black Tulip

Magnolia Black Tulip bursts into bloom from late winter to spring with some of the darkest, richest flowers ever seen on a magnolia. Deep red-burgundy goblet-shaped blooms up to 25cm across rise like velvet chalices above bare branches, turning heads and stealing the spotlight. As green spring foliage unfurls behind them, the contrast is nothing short of breathtaking. Whether planted as a feature tree or among other seasonal stars, Black Tulip offers unforgettable drama and colour in every petal.
