Betty Hybrid Magnolia

Flowering trees are always an attractive feature of a well-planned garden. Chosen carefully, any tree will enhance an area, but by opting for one that erupts into a display of blossoms every spring you can double that effect easily. ThereÕs a huge range of flowering trees to choose from but one of the most popular is the magnolia. The familiar grandiflora species of this beautiful tree contributes the official flower of two US states, but other species can be found around the world. China is home to Magnolia liliiflora, for example, and that compact but alluring species is the basis of the gorgeous hybrid known as Betty. If youÕre looking for a spectacular and easy to grow tree, but your garden is too small for the towering Southern Magnolia, this could be exactly what youÕre looking for. A manageable size but every bit as vibrant as its full-sized cousins, a Betty magnolia will brighten the space around your home for decades to come.
