Magnolia Honey Tulip ('Jurmag5') (PBR)
magnolia Honey Tulip
A breakthrough by the renowned breeder Mark Jury in New Zealand produced this wonderful magnolia. Hailed as a golden version of 'Black Tulip', it is the first yellow-flowered form to have this distinctive flower shape. Also, unlike many of the other yellow magnolias, it flowers on bare wood, so the display is not distracted by the emerging foliage. Its butterscotch yellow petals are substantial enough that they do not flop easily, and they keep their colour throughout the season.
