Every year new plants are introduced into the marketplace. These new varieties are bred to give you many qualities that their parents don’t have. Some of the characteristics are improved flowering, foliage, pest resistance, size and overall beauty in the landscape.
Our buyers are also looking for plants that are available in good supply, that may not be new this year to the marketplace, but we have not carried them in the past.

The U.S. National Arboretum presents eight hybrid magnolia cultivars affectionately known as “The Girls.” These selections offer a spectacular floral display approximately two weeks later than M. stellata and M. x soulangiana, thus decreasing the possibility of Spring frost damage. The flowers are doubly delightful! They welcome Spring in shades of pink to purple and later surprise you with occasional summer blooms. Plants grow as multi stemmed large shrubs or small trees bearing slightly leathery leaves that stand up well to summer heat and drought. Winter reveals the plant architecture highlighted by smooth grey bark and fuzzy flower buds. In every season “The Girls” embellish the landscape.
These magnolia selections bloom two to four weeks later than M. stellata and M. x soulangiana, reducing the possibility of late Spring frost damage. Plants produce flowers with a variety of tepal colors from reddish-purple to pink on white. The unexpected sporadic summer bloom adds landscape interest.
