Magnolia denudata (Yulan Magnolia / Lily Tree) is a deciduous flowering tree with a broad, rounded to spreading habit, featuring medium green leaves and large, fragrant, creamy white to ivory goblet-shaped flowers that open before the foliage in late winter to early spring. Blooms are typically 5–6" across with 9–12 tepals, sometimes showing a faint pink blush at the base, and give the tree a refined, elegant spring display.

Its fragrant white flowers, elegant branching, and early bloom make it one of the classic magnolias for spring display. Care: Plant in a protected site with fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, mulch to keep roots cool and evenly moist, and prune only if needed after flowering. Avoid poorly drained or drought-prone sites.
