Plants Flowering in April

Dark red flowers

The darkest purple-red flowered magnolia before the arrival of M.'Genie'

Pink cup-and-saucer flowers, paler pink within.

Probably the nearest to a black magnolia flower that you will ever see. Quite extraordinary. Slow growing but very floriferous

Bright yellow flowers with magenta mid veins and a tinge of green

Pale pink and cream

Introduced at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens in 1967 as a hybrid between M. acuminata and M. x brooklynensis. Flowers are yellow with a slight greenish tinge

Narrow habit. Burgundy, upright flowers, cream within.

Perhaps the best new red flowered New Zealand hybrid yet. Upright tulip-shaped flowers opening to a star shape

A hybrid between M.acuminata and M.denudata with rich yellow flowers and red stamens

A hybrid raised at Caerhays Castle with huge saucer-shaped salmon-pink flowers

A hybrid between M. mollicomata and M. liliiflora 'Nigra' which flowers at a young age and is suitable for smaller gardens. The flowers open a dark purplish-red and fade to mauvish-purple

Pinkish-red outside to the tepals and white flushed purple within

Rose-purple flowers on the outside and white with a marginal pink flush on the inside

Large flowers red-purple on the outside and cream inside.

(syn 'Jing Ning') - slow growing stellata type magnolia with pink flowers

Similar in colour to M. 'Lanarth' this new New Zealand hybrid is a rich reddish purple with a metallic sheen

Pink tulip-shaped flowers.

Coral pink with vertical yellow stripe. Fragrant.

Pink-tinted white flowers

The flowers are pure white with a triangular flash of pink at the base of the petal which runs in a line right to the top. An attractive new magnolia with a rather different flower. Misnamed 'Sunrise'

In our opinion this is easily the best and darkest yellow yet to appear on the market. The flowers do come out with the leaves most years but this is genuinely a plant for the smaller garden. A triumph for Philippe de Spoelberch's magnolia breeding in Belgium.

Gresham hybrid with large white cup-shaped flowers which have a slight pink flush at the base

Reddish to crimson flowers on this dawsoniana hybrid bred at Chyverton in Cornwall

Unusual fragrant light rose-pink flowers. M. xbrooklynensis 'Woodsman' was the seed parent in a cross with M. 'Tina Durio'. Highly recommended

Scented pure white cup-shaped flowers

Soft rose-pink blooms with no trace of purple

Flowers two or three weeks later than the typical species with simple ivory white flowers

Large white flowers
