Magnolia 'Leonard Messel' is a hybrid magnolia which will ultimately make a small spreading tree. Very attractive star shaped flowers, soft lilac pink flushed with purple. Unlike some others this plant will produce flowers on comparatively young plants. This Magnolia will thrive in heavy clay and tolerant of atmospheric pollution but may benefit from some protection from strong winds.
This Magnolia tree is supplied in a 3 or 10 litre container suitable for planting all year round. The total height from the ground is approximately 0.6m-0.8m or 1-1.2m.
