This treat boasts large, fragrant white flowers that contrast beautifully against its glossy, dark green leaves.
The flowers bloom in the spring, as well as sporadically throughout the summer, adding a touch of elegance to your garden.
Dwarf Magnolias do best in full sun to partial shade and enjoy rich, well-drained soil. They’re also relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefit from some regular watering during any dry spells.
Weeping Redbud
The Weeping Redbud is a North American native that combines the beauty of the Redbud with a unique weeping form. Its heart-shaped leaves emerge as a rich maroon in spring. Then, they transition to green as they mature.
In early spring, this tree also produces clusters of small, rosy-pink flowers that cover the branches before the leaves appear.
Weeping Redbuds prefer well-drained soil and thrive in full sun to partial shade. Regular watering is also crucial, particularly during dry periods, to help this tree establish a strong root system.
Seven-Son Tree
The Seven-Son Tree originates from China and is actually named for its clusters of seven small, fragrant flowers that bloom in late summer to early fall.
The flowers are a striking white and attract a variety of pollinators, including butterflies. Then, after the flowers fade, they are followed by showy, pinkish-red calyces that add color to your garden into late fall.
Seven-Son Trees prefer well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. They’re also relatively low-maintenance, requiring regular watering only during dry periods and occasional pruning to maintain their shape.
