Magnolia grandiflora Exmouth is a beautiful evergreen magnolia that provides interest throughout the year. Best known for its large, fragrant flowers and glossy foliage, it makes an impressive specimen tree and brings a touch of elegance to any planting scheme.
During summer, Magnolia grandiflora Exmouth produces spectacular creamy white flowers that can reach up to 25cm across. The blooms have a rich fragrance and stand out clearly against the dark green leaves. Flowering often continues over several weeks, with new blooms appearing throughout the season.
The foliage is one of the tree’s greatest assets. The leaves are large, leathery and glossy green on the upper surface, with a soft brown underside that adds depth and texture when stirred by the wind. As an evergreen, Magnolia grandiflora Exmouth retains its leaves throughout the year, providing structure and screening even during winter.
Over time, this magnolia develops into a broad, upright tree with a dense canopy. It is well suited to use as a specimen tree, where its flowers and foliage can be fully appreciated, but it can also be used to provide year-round privacy and shelter.
Magnolia grandiflora Exmouth grows best in moist, well-drained, fertile soil and benefits from a sheltered position, particularly when young. Once established, it is a robust and reliable tree that requires very little maintenance beyond occasional shaping if required.
If you are looking for an evergreen tree that combines beautiful foliage, fragrant flowers and year-round presence, Magnolia grandiflora Exmouth is an excellent choice that will continue to improve with age.
