Magnolia Pink Pyramid

Magnolia Pink Pyramid is a small magnolia tree with stunning ruby-pink blooms in summer. It’s a beautiful fastigiate magnolia that’s small enough to suit an urban courtyard or a container on a balcony.

95 million years ago magnolias once grew worldwide but now they are now only native to southwestern North America and southern China. Named after the French botanist Pierre Magnol they are stunning flowerers that get large. Magnolia Pink Pyramid was raised in New Zealand by renowned magnolia breeder Vance Hopper to remain small enough for compact gardens.

Pink Pyramid is a new magnolia cross between Magnolia Aurora and Magnolia Genie with dark green year-round foliage and ruby pink-purple blooms that measure 20 centimetres in diameter. It flowers from an early age so you aren’t waiting years for a flower display. Blooms appear in spring and then a second flush emerges in summer if it’s well cared for.

This is a striking small magnolia that will fit into any sized garden and light it up with rich colour.
