Cleopatra

Cleopatra
MAGNOLIA

The stately beauty 'Cleopatra' was bred by revered New Zealand breeder Vance Hooper and is sure to become the queen of your garden. Featuring the most amazing, rich purple blooms 'Cleopatra' is a prolific flowerer from a young age.  First blooms are out in late winter to early spring followed by a repeat flowering in summer.  Add this to its compact and narrow growth habit, which makes this tree ideal for all gardens or containers and you can see why 'Cleopatra' was winner of the Best New Tree Award at the Essen International Plant Fair in 2013.  An absolute must for all magnolia lovers.  Little pruning required other than form pruning or crown raising. Plant in moist but free draining soil somewhere that gets full sun.  A sheltered site protected from strong winds will prolong the flowering. Deciduous and frost hardy.
