The most unique aspect of this eye-catching tree is that its bright yellow blossoms are striped with pink! How cool is that! When its beautiful blossoms open up, it exposes its purple eye from which the pink stripes spill.
This magnolia’s bright yellow blossoms bud in the spring and its huge, dark green foliage follows in the summer. But don’t let this dramatic tree fool you! The Sunsation Magnolia is a rather small accent tree. It would be the perfect centerpiece to any garden!
