Lois Magnolia

Lois Magnolia (Magnolia x brooklynensis 'Lois') Lois Magnolia (Magnolia x brooklynensis 'Lois'), is a deciduous flowering tree known for its distinctive yellow spring blooms, often with soft green or subtle blush tones that add depth to the color. It brings a warm, fresh look to the garden at a time when most flowering trees are still limited to whites and pinks. As a Magnolia x brooklynensis selection, it is often chosen for its uncommon flower palette and its ability to deliver a refined, upright bloom display that looks clean and intentional. With a graceful canopy and a spring show that feels a little different from the usual magnolia lineup, Lois Magnolia makes an excellent focal point for front yards, entries, and collector-style landscapes. Distinctive Features The flowers are tulip-shaped and upright, opening in spring in clear yellow tones that can read as golden in sun and softer in shade. The bloom form stays structured, which helps the tree look polished in flower rather than loose or floppy. After bloom, the tree leafs out with medium green foliage and forms a tidy canopy that provides light shade through summer. The overall habit tends to be upright to rounded with age, giving it a composed, ornamental tree presence that supports both formal plantings and more naturalistic mixed borders. Growing Conditions...
