Magnolia Liliiflora Nigra. Black Lily Magnolia

 

Magnolia Liliiflora Nigra is an impressive Magnolia with a compact graceful habit. It produces large cup-shaped, dark purple flowers which fade slowly to a light purple. It continues to produce these flowers sporadically all summer long and well into the autumn. Magnolia Liliiflora Nigra (Black Lily Magnolia) is a great choice for a small garden and should be planted in a sunny or semi shaded position. Ideal soil conditions are fertile, moist, well draining neutral to acidic.

 

Magnolias are wonderful free flowering small trees which provide early colour for your garden during Spring and early Summer. Try planting combinations of dwarf flowering shrubs beneath Magnolias to provide colour through the whole year especially through the winter.
