This deciduous Magnolia has been specifically developed by a renowned New Zealand breeder to avoid spring frosts. Perfect for Magnolia lovers in colder gardens, Magnolia ‘Cleopatra’ has a later blooming season, flowering for up to 4 weeks in April/May. The huge, dark pink/purple goblet-shaped blooms have a bluish undertone which lends them an unusual metallic sheen. A vigorous cross between Magnolia soulangeana ‘Sweet Simplicity’ and Magnolia ‘Black Tulip’, ‘Cleopatra’ grows into a narrow, columnar tree clothed in large, fresh green, ovate leaves. Its medium size makes it a good choice for smaller gardens. This vigorous, free-flowering hybrid also blooms reliably from an early age. Height: 4m (13ft). Spread: 2m (6.5ft).Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size.
