Magnolia 'Vulcan'
Discover the Magnolia 'Vulcan', a stunning hybrid celebrated for its exceptionally dark red, large blooms. This vigorous tree produces huge 10-12 inch ruby-red flowers that deepen in cooler weather, typically appearing in early to mid-spring. Bred in New Zealand, it starts flowering at a young age and develops an elegant, slender form that matures into a broadly dense structure. Reaching up to 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide, it's ideal as a specimen or accent plant. It's cold-hardy and adaptable to most moist, well-drained soils, making it an easy-care addition to your garden.
