This late-flowering, deciduous magnolia grows straight and upright when young, and spreads later on maturity. The goblet-shaped, fragrant blooms are pale pink on the outside and white inside, and appear from mid-spring to early summer, avoiding most frosts.

The Magnolia Heaven Scent is beautiful to look at, has stunningly fragrant blooms and is one of the best magnolias available for the small garden.
