Sweetbay magnolia is sought after for its large, lemony scented white flowers that bloom in April and persist through July. Its glossy, green leaves have silvery undersides and persist into late fall. Foliage is considered semi-evergreen.
An excellent choice for shrub borders and along stream banks and in low areas.
