Magnolia ‘March Till Frost’

If you love magnolias but wish they didn’t have such as short season, this is the perfect variety for you. Magnolia ‘March Till Frost’ fulfils its name, delivering masses of blooms in March/April and then continuously producing sporadic bursts of flowers until the first autumn frosts. A liliflora type, the upright flowers don’t open completely, forming elegant, tulip-shaped blooms that change colour as the season progresses. The first flowers are pale pink, the later ones deepening in colour to carmine. The inner colour of the tepals is rose-pink to white, forming a striking contrast with the darker exterior. The flowers are followed by erect, candle-like, magenta seed pods that contrast beautifully with the foliage, adding a second season of interest. Magnolia ‘March Till Frost’ forms a small, upright, well-branching tree with glossy, dark green leaves. It makes a stunning deciduous shrub or tree for a small to medium garden. Height and spread: 2- 5m (6.5-16ft).
