Price range: $22.00 through $30.00

The Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) is a versatile beauty for your landscape. This small to medium-sized tree boasts fragrant, creamy white flowers that bloom throughout summer, filling the air with a citrusy scent. Even better, it’s a champion for wildlife. The flowers attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, while the bright red cones that follow in fall provide a feast for birds. It’s also a host plant for the Tiger Swallowtail butterfly.

Beyond the blooms, Sweetbay offers several landscape benefits. It tolerates a range of soil conditions, including moist areas, making it a good choice for rain gardens. This adaptable tree is also drought-resistant once established and can even handle some wind. With its evergreen foliage (in warmer climates) or attractive form in colder zones, it adds year-round interest.

Sweetbay Magnolia

This little tree arrived in great condition. It was well packed, beautifully packed. I planted it in a container, but plan to plant it in the ground later when I have decided on a location.
