Magnolia ‘Butterflies’ is a stunning deciduous magnolia prized for its elegant, tulip-shaped yellow flowers that bring a rare and uplifting splash of colour to spring gardens. The soft buttery-yellow blooms appear on bare branches before the foliage emerges, creating a striking display that stands out against the late winter landscape. As the season progresses, fresh green leaves develop, forming a neat, upright canopy that adds structure and interest throughout the year.

Highly regarded for its refined form and reliable performance, ‘Butterflies’ is ideal for feature planting in gardens, courtyards, and larger landscapes. It thrives in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and benefits from a sheltered position to protect its early blooms. With its unique flower colour, graceful habit, and seasonal impact, this magnolia is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a standout ornamental tree that delivers beauty and sophistication year after year.
