Magnolia 'Ricki'

Magnolia 'Ricki' delivers a fanfare to spring with showy blooms that command attention. This deciduous shrub or small tree produces upright, goblet-shaped flowers in rich purple-pink tones with softer pink interiors from mid to late spring, often opening after the risk of frost has passed for dependable floral impact. Its fresh green foliage then brings seasonal interest, turning warm shades of yellow, bronze and red in autumn, making it an attractive feature throughout the year. A compact yet striking specimen, Magnolia 'Ricki' suits borders, courtyards or as a standalone focal point in mixed plantings. Ultimate height and spread: 2.5m to 4m (8.2ft to 13ft).
