Magnolia Galaxy
Unique in form and flower, award-winning Magnolia ‘Galaxy’ is a small deciduous tree adorned with a profusion of dark pink flowers in mid-spring. Opening from deep red-purple buds, the slightly fragrant, large flowers, 8 in. across (20 cm), count 12 tepals, light pinkish-purple outside, paler rose within. Since they bloom late enough, they usually escape the frost damage of early spring.
