Magnolia laevifolia

Magnolia laevifolia

A great choice for small spaces, Magnolia laevifolia is a lovely evergreen small tree or large shrub that can fit in almost any space and adds year round interest. In spring it is covered with large white flowers that are intensely fragrant and the rest of the year you get to enjoy the fuzzy brown indumentum that covers the flower buds. One of our favorite magnolias and a prized small evergreen for just about any garden size.
