Leonard Messel flowering magnolia is a handsome deciduous shrub having a multi-stemmed habit; beautiful deep pink buds that open to pale lilac pink flowers at an early age. The strap-like petals are similar to Star Magnolia. Use for single specimen and accent plant. Full sun. Slow-growing shrub to 10 to 15 feet high, 12 feet wide; higher as a tree. This gorgeous pink-flowering Magnolia can be treated as a small tree or large shrub. Plant this magnoia variety up close to enjoy the flowers from indoor or outdoor living spaces. Integrate into flowering shrub borders or use as an accent in a sea of massed perennials. Make it the focal point of a smaller city garden, where you can carefully control the shape for night lighting and visibility. Hardy to USDA zone 5 and all higher zones.
