Magnolia 'Atlas' produces large, cup-shaped flowers that are lilac-pink in color with cream-white interiors. The flowers can reach up to 35cm in diameter, with tepals that are up to 15cm wide. It typically blooms in mid-spring and starts producing flowers from an early age. Magnolia 'Atlas' has an erect and open-headed tree form, but it only produces flowers at the branch tips, adding to its unique visual appeal. It is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia x soulangeana 'Lennei Alba' and Magnolia 'Mark Jury'. 'Atlas' was bred by Felix Jury in New Zealand in the 1960s and introduced in 1989.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
