Magnolia "Sunset Swirl"


Very hardy magnolia with gorgeous pink flowers that are similar in color to "Daybreak". The advantage of this hybrid is its excellent flower form which matures to a flat, pinwheel form, rather than a floppy form. A beauty for colder climates!

Parentage: M."Pink Royalty" x M."Daybreak".
