Magnolia 'Cleopatra' begins to flower at an early age, producing a profusion of goblet-shaped blooms that are red-purple both inside and out. The flowers are up to 20cm wide and bloom in early spring, with the possibility of a second summer flowering in warm summers. It is an excellent street tree, with an upright and conical growth habit that is well-suited to areas with limited space. Magnolia 'Cleopatra' is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia x soulangeana 'Sweet Simplicity' and Magnolia 'Black Tulip'. 'Cleopatra' was selected in 2003 by Vance Hooper in Waitara, Taranaki, New Zealand (PVR 30845). In January 2013, Magnolia ‘Cleopatra’ won first prize for the best new tree at the International Plant Trade Fair in Essen, Germany.

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.
