Centennial Blush Magnolia

The Centennial Blush Magnolia is a spectacular hardy tree that is smothered in huge, double, soft-pink blooms very early in spring. It is the hardiest of all the magnolias, thriving in zone 4 and even in protected spots in zone 3. It blooms on bare branches, as early as February, and it is the most prolific bloomer of all the star magnolias, with plants as young as two-years old showing their first blossoms. It grows vigorously into an upright, conical tree reaching 12 to 18 feet tall, and 10 or 15 feet wide. It is the perfect specimen for a lawn, or in a bed among later-flowering trees and shrubs. Plant it in open woodland gardens too, where it looks right at home. This tree can be easily grown everywhere in the country, and it is such a spectacular and delightful tree that no garden should be without one.

It needs no pruning or special attention, and it has no pests or diseases. Despite its wonderful appearance, this is a very easy tree that will grow well in almost every garden, and it brings a unique, special charm to early spring, that no other tree can come near to.
