The 'Galaxy' is a US native which has become popular in the UK in recent years; it is a hybrid which was developed from Magnolia Liliiflora and Magnolia sprengeri Diva. This beautiful tree features a striking spring display of deep purple-red flowers which open on bare branches. The tulip-shaped flowers are later accompanied by dark green leaves, which hold their dark-green colour until they fall in autumn. The ‘Galaxy’ grows to be a fairly tall tree which develops a pyramidal shape as it matures. This is a great choice for planting in a space that is in need of some delicate floral beauty.
