Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel' Flowering-Tree Tolerates wet soilsA very small magnolia producing a confetti of fluttery blush white flowers on bare stems in mid spring. One of the few magnolias to flower freely from a young age. The flowers are less susceptible than most magnolias to late night frosts. Ultimate height and spread perhaps 8m x 6m. Unlike many magnolias, this variety succeeds well on all types of soil including clay and chalk. H6
