Magnolia 'Elizabeth'

Common Name: Elizabeth Magnolia

Magnolia ‘Elizabeth’ (Yellow Magnolia) is a deciduous small tree with an upright pyramidal to broadly conical habit, featuring medium green foliage and soft primrose- to pale yellow, lightly fragrant flowers that appear in early spring. This classic hybrid was developed from Magnolia acuminata × M. denudata and is valued for its clear yellow bloom color, refined form, and reliable spring display. Type: Tree (Deciduous) Mature Size: 12–20' W × 20–35' H USDA Zones: 5a–8b Form: Upright pyramidal to broadly conical Light: Full sun to part shade Soil / Water: Rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soils; moderate water, prefers consistent moisture during establishment Bloom Time / Length: Early spring; moderate (about 2–3 weeks) Wildlife: Bees Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent as a specimen tree, focal point, or flowering accent for lawns and mixed borders. The pale yellow flowers are softer and more subtle than some newer yellow magnolia cultivars, and grafted plants may begin blooming at a relatively young age. Care: Plant in a protected site with fertile, well-drained soil and avoid hot, dry exposures. Water regularly while establishing, mulch to keep roots cool, and prune only if needed just after flowering.
