Variety description
10 August 2026
The variety is a hybrid obtained by crossing Magnolia × loebneri «Encore» and Magnolia × soulangeana «Alexandrina». The plant forms an upright pyramidal crown with a distinct central leader, reaching 6–7.5 meters in height and 3–4.5 meters in width.
The deciduous tree has glossy dark green leaves that turn yellow in autumn. The flowers are cup-shaped, up to 30 cm in diameter, with a pink-lavender inner side and a red-purple outer side of the petals. The variety is late-blooming, which protects the buds from spring frosts.
The plant has winter hardiness in USDA zones 5–9 and demonstrates general resistance to common magnolia diseases and pests. It is propagated vegetatively via grafting.
