Sweetbay Magnolia 15 Gallon Container

Sweetbay Magnolia (Multi-Stem) – 15 Gallon Container

The Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) is a graceful, native tree known for its fragrant white flowers, silvery-backed green leaves, and multi-season beauty. This multi-stem form in a 15-gallon container adds a natural, elegant structure perfect for woodland gardens, privacy borders, or wet landscape areas.

Unlike traditional Southern magnolias, Sweetbay has a softer look and thrives in moist soils, making it a top choice for areas near creeks, ponds, or rain gardens. Its creamy white, lemon-scented blooms appear in late spring to early summer and are followed by bright red seed pods that attract birds and wildlife in the fall.

The multi-stem growth habit creates a more natural, airy appearance that works well in both formal and native-style landscapes. Sweetbay Magnolia is semi-evergreen in warmer climates and deciduous in colder zones, providing flexibility across a wide range of conditions.
