The Japanese Magnolia is a stunning deciduous shrub with a rounded, bushy growth habit and dark green leaves that turn gold in fall. The fragrant tulip-like flowers are vibrant pink-purple and bloom in early spring, before the leaves appear. Grows best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
