Magnolia 'John Congreve'
A newly available hybrid from the magnificent Mount Congreve estate in S.E. Eire. A cross
between M. sprengeri and M. sargentiana robusta, this fine tree was selected for its cyclamenpurple
flowers that share more genes with the sprengeri parent and therefore flower later,
helping to escape frosts, but also tip slightly outwards, showing their faces, like sargentiana
