Plant description
A deciduous magnolia that unveils a sunny spectacle to herald spring's arrival. This small ornamental tree illuminates the landscape with clusters of lush golden yellow flowers blushed with rosy pink. The large, goblet-shaped blooms appear on bare branches in early spring, often persisting through late frosts with the fresh green leaves unfurling after the floral display, offering a crisp contrast and lush backdrop. 'Sunsation' will make a dramatic statement in a small to medium sized garden, the almost glowing flowers and neat habit creating a captivating early season focal point.

How to care for Magnolia Sunsation:
Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in midsummer. Plant in a sheltered spot, adding plenty of ericaceous compost to the planting hole. Mulch in spring with manure and leafmould, especially in dry soils.
Please note:
This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
