Magnolia 'Cameo' produces tulip to cup-shaped blooms in spring, with flower tepals that are red-purple on the outside and white flushed with red-purple on the interior. The blooms are wind-resistant and are produced in abundance from the first year. The high rate of flower production limits its height, resulting in a small, compact habit. Magnolia 'Cameo' is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia x soulangeana 'Sweet Simplicity' and Magnolia 'Black Tulip'. 'Cameo' was selected in 2000 by Vance Hooper in Waitara, Taranaki, New Zealand and released in 2013 by Magnolia Grove in Waitara, Taranaki, New Zealand (USPP27222).

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.
