Magnolia x 'Cameo'

Magnolia × ‘Cameo’

Add dramatic spring color to the landscape with this compact Magnolia. Large, sculpted flowers have a distinctive, almost cameo-like form, with reddish-purple outer petals and white interiors softly flushed with red-purple. The lightly fragrant blooms appear in abundance in early spring and may continue through spring, with occasional flowers into summer.

Its compact size makes ‘Cameo’ a good choice for smaller landscapes, foundation plantings, and specimen use where its unusual flowers can be appreciated up close.
