Magnolia 'Sunsation' is celebrated for its stunning yellow blooms that create a real sensation when they finally open in early to mid-May. Its late blooming helps avoid frost damage and allows it to shine after other Magnolias have finished. The large 7-inch flowers feature a striking deep yellow with a blush of purple at the base for a captivating two-toned effect. Plant 'Sunsation' in half to full sun, and give it plenty of space, as it branches wide and low to the ground.
Growing & Maintenance Tips for Magnolia X Sunsation
