Magnolia kobus bears masses of fragrant, white star-shaped flowers on bare branches in early spring, before the leaves appear.

Magnolia kobus is one of the most reliable and hardy magnolias — an elegant, spreading tree that flowers on bare wood in early spring, so the display is completely unobstructed by foliage.
The flowers are pure white, lightly fragrant and star-shaped, opening from silky buds that are themselves attractive through winter. Fresh green leaves follow once flowering finishes.
It is more tolerant than many magnolias, coping with a range of soils including some alkalinity, though it prefers moist, well-drained ground. Choose a spot sheltered from early-morning sun, which can brown the flowers after a frost.
Sourced to order from growers we know and trust.
Every plant we sell is backed by four decades of growing. Tell us about your garden and we’ll tell you honestly whether this is the right plant for it.
