Magnolia ‘Deryk’ produces rich, glowing, velvet-red flowers from late winter to early spring. It sets flowers on all tips, which can result in a slower growth rate. Magnolia ‘Deryk’ is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a seedling of Magnolia ‘Genie’. ‘Deryk’ was raised by Magnolia Grove in Waitara, Taranaki, New Zealand and named in honour of Deryk Lawrence who raised various magnolia hybrids at the garden he developed with his wife, Nancy, in Otamarakau, New Zealand.
