Spring-Blooming Deciduous Magnolias

Many people think of the large southern magnolias, but there are many deciduous magnolias that have beautiful spring blooms. Dale Skaggs, Director of Horticulture at Dixon Gallery and Gardens shows three kinds of hybrid spring-blooming magnolias. The first is ‘Ann’ from the little girl series. It has pinkish purple blossoms. The second is ‘Elizabeth,’ a yellow hybrid developed by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The third ‘Butterflies’ is also yellow. Dale also talks about some of the other varieties available.
