Magnolias are looking amazing this year with few late frosts the flowers have kept there perfect colours and shape.
Though normally too big for the yard growing to the size of a medium sized tree*, they do make an amazing feature in spring.
Of all the magnolias Magnolia Black Tulip is possibly the most stunning. It is well named with its perfect tulip shaped flowers of the deepest purple that is almost black. It would be suitable to grow in a large container using a loam based compost but would need watering well throughout the growing season.
* The best smaller magnolia to grow is without doubt Magnolia stellata which has small brilliant white flowers.
