A member of the Little Girl series of hybrid magnolias, this petite magnolia is a cross between Magnolia ‘Reflorescence’ and M. ‘Waterlily’. The result, Magnolia ‘Jane’, is a show-stopping spring blooming deciduous magnolia that offers big blooms on a small tree! You might call it a small tree, but it really grows more like a compact multi-trunked shrub in the 8-12’ tall range. While plants may not be large by Magnolia standards, the reddish-purple tulip-shaped flowers reach a whopping 8-9” in diameter and are often some of the first flowers to open in spring. The flowers emerge before the spring foliage, and are followed by thick, ovate, green leaves. The perfect small flowering specimen tree (or shrub) to anchor your landscape beds; or plant in groups for a stunning spring floral display.
