Fairy Magnolia Cream (Magnolia hybrid)
Best fragrant flowering shrub for patio containers or compact garden spaces.
This is the rare magnolia that actually fits in a pot, trading the towering height of traditional varieties for a manageable, bushy silhouette. You get the same intoxicating spring fragrance and striking red seed pods, but without the need for a sprawling estate to house it.
