Details

If you love the southern charm of magnolias but live slightly farther north than magnolias usually
tolerate, consider a more cold-tolerant variety like Bracken’s Brown Beauty. And if your landscape is
on the smaller side, no need to worry that this magnolia will overtake it. The evergreen leaves turn a
copper hue in the fall and keep on shining throughout the winter, setting the stage for wonderfully
fragrant, oversized white flowers in late spring or early summer. And as beautiful as these blooms are
on the tree, they will also hold up well as a cut flower in your bouquets or arrangements. This
southern beauty takes our heat and only asks for moderately moist, well-drained soil in return.
