  • Description

  • Notes

Centennial magnolia is a small, slow-growing tree or large shrub that reaches 15 to 20 feet tall and about 12 to 15 feet wide. It branches close to the ground and has a dense head of foliage. In late spring, rose-flushed buds open to reveal fragrant blooms with frilly slender petals in crisp white with a hint of pink. Plant in a sheltered area, though not against a south or west-facing wall or fence.
