Notes
'Black Tulip' magnolia (Magnolia 'Black Tulip') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Fragrant flowers open from early to late spring. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit the plant, and the evergreen leaves give you cover all year.
Pairs well with Limelight hydrangea, Japanese forest grass, and Excelsior Spanish bluebell.
