In a Nutshell:

* A cross between M. kobus and M. stellata, strong-growing plants of roundish outline, fragrant flowers in spring, flowers even on very young plants, "among the most beautiful of all magnolias" (Dirr)

* Loebner magnolia is a deciduous hybrid magnolia (M. kobus x M. stellata). It is a small tree typically growing to 20-30’ tall with a rounded crown. It is more often grown in a multi-trunked form that as a single trunk tree. Fragrant star-like white flowers (4-6” wide) with 10-15 petals appear in early spring before the foliage (March – April in St. Louis).

* Hardy to USDA Zone 4. Its fragrant late flowers, following its stellata parent by a couple of weeks, escape unexpected late spring frosts, but appear on the bare branches, to great effect. The deep pink buds open in informal strap-like tepals with pale shell pink upper surfaces and darker pink-purple lower ones. Like most magnolias, it thrives best on acid soils. more...

* Genus name honors Pierre Magnol, French botanist (1638-1715). Specific epithet honors Max Loebner, a German horticulturist, who made the first cross of this hybrid in the early 1900s. A number of hybrid cultivars are now available in commerce featuring flowers that are white, blush-pink, lilac pink or pink.

* Best grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained loams in full sun to part shade. Generally intolerant of soil extremes (dry or wet). Intolerant of most urban pollutants. May take 3-4 years before first blooms appear. Best sited in a protected location, because early spring frosts can damage flowers.

* Beautiful specimen flowering tree for lawns. more...
