This Magnolia produces goblet-shaped, firmly-textured flowers in a dark purple-red color. The flowers bloom in mid-spring and are well-suited for smaller gardens. Magnolia 'Red As' starts blooming at a young age and is an excellent option for a street tree. It has an upright growth habit. Magnolia 'Red As' is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia x soulangeana 'Pickard's Ruby' and Magnolia 'Vulcan'. 'Red As' was raised by Ian Baldick in Drury, New Zealand before 2004 and was introduced by Duncan & Davies Nurseries in New Plymouth, New Zealand.

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.
