Magnolia virginiana / SWEET BAY MAGNOLIA

Magnolia virginiana, commonly known as Sweet Bay Magnolia, is an elegant, deciduous to semi-evergreen tree that features glossy, dark green leaves and produces fragrant, creamy white flowers in late spring to early summer. The large, saucer-shaped blooms are highly aromatic, filling the air with a sweet scent that attracts pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Sweet Bay Magnolia thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it an ideal choice for water gardens, wetland areas, or along pond edges. The tree’s creamy white flowers are followed by small, red fruit that adds visual interest in the fall and winter months. With its striking flowers, fragrant blooms, and ability to tolerate wet soils, Magnolia virginiana is a versatile and beautiful addition to any landscape, offering year-round appeal and wildlife benefits.
