Magnolia Jane
Magnolia × 'Jane'
A stunning compact magnolia that produces abundant reddish-purple buds opening to fragrant pink-white flowers in late spring. This Little Girl hybrid blooms later than most magnolias, avoiding frost damage, and often produces a second flush of flowers in summer. Perfect for smaller gardens where you want maximum floral impact without overwhelming size.
