Magnolia ‘Honey Tulip’

Magnolia ‘Honey Tulip’ is a golden form of Magnolia ‘Black Tulip’ and produces the same heavily-textured, goblet-shaped flowers as its counterpart, but with a smaller growth habit. Magnolia ‘Honey Tulip’ retains its yellow coloring without fading and produces flowers that are up to 15cm wide in late-winter to early-spring. It is great for the smaller garden, flowers from an early age, and is an excellent street tree. Magnolia ‘Honey Tulip’ is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia x brooklynensis ‘Yellow Bird’ and Magnolia ‘Iolanthe’. Magnolia ‘Honey Tulip’ was raised in 1993 by Mark Jury in Tikorangi, Taranaki, New Zealand and introduced in 2013 (USPP26685).
