Notes
'Galaxy' magnolia (Magnolia 'Galaxy') is a tree for specimen planting, borders, and foundation beds. 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 deep pink and purple flowers open in spring and can last into early summer. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it grows upright with green leaves.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, June hosta, and Ornamental onion.
