Magnolia Grandiflora Double Nantais

Description

Magnolia grandiflora ‘Double Nantais’ is a striking variety of the Southern Magnolia, prized for its showy, double-flowered blooms. The creamy white flowers are larger and more densely petaled than typical Magnolia grandiflora, offering an even more dramatic display. These elegant flowers emit a sweet, citrusy fragrance that enhances the garden during late spring and early summer. The dark green, leathery leaves with bronze undersides provide a perfect backdrop to the vibrant blooms, offering year-round visual interest.

This variety prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is ideal for large gardens, parklands, and as a specimen tree. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10, Magnolia ‘Double Nantais’ thrives in humid, warm conditions, requiring minimal maintenance once established. Whether used for its stunning flowers, glossy foliage, or fragrance, it adds elegance, beauty, and sophistication to any landscape.
