Magnolia Genie is the kind of tree that stops you in your tracks. Just as the cold days begin to retreat, this compact magnolia awakens with a dramatic flourish—each bud unfurling into velvety, wine-red blooms that catch the morning light like stained glass. Even when other trees are still bare, this little stunner is already performing, bringing early spring colour and a quiet sense of wonder to any garden.
Perfect for smaller spaces or cosy courtyards, Magnolia Genie grows with a gentle upright form, its glossy green leaves setting the stage for a second flush of flowers in summer. It's the kind of tree that doesn’t shout, but rather whispers beauty into your everyday life—whether it’s by the front gate, in a favourite pot, or beneath a bedroom window.
