Magnolia 'Black Tulip' is perfect for smaller gardens due to its compact and upright growth habit. It blooms in mid-spring, producing cup-shaped, thick-textured flowers with a glowing dark-purple color. The flowers are typically 15cm wide and can withstand windy conditions. Additionally, Magnolia 'Black Tulip' begins flowering at a young age. It is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia 'Vulcan' and Magnolia 'Iolanthe'. 'Black Tulip' was raised by Mark Jury in Tikorangi, Taranaki, New Zealand and introduced in 1998 (PVR 1498).

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.
