Magnolia 'Black Tulip' is my favorite plant ... this week.

What do the Prince of Whales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Aung San Suu Kyi, and I have in common?  We're all planting Magnolia 'Black Tulip' of course.  Check it out here.   I'm still waiting to find the hole already dug for me so that I only have to toss on three shovels full of soil.  Anyway, after several years of admiring this tree and seeing it at several nurseries and on Linda Reeder's garden blog, I finally found one small enough for both my budget and car. It drew oohs and aahs from customers as we wheeled it out of Valley Nursery last weekend. 


Read Erie Nickel's article about this pant here.  Hardy to zone 5 and prefers full sun but will tolerate a tad bit of shade.   I just noticed online that a big box store is also selling these. 
 
The rich color makes quite a statement in in the spring!
