Magnolia Premier Cru features attractive dark crmson globular flowers, borne on bare branches. As the flowers open they show pale pink inners.
Premier Cru grows with a spreading habit, reaching about 4m high and 3m wide after 10-15 years.
Premier Cru is one of the earlier flowering Magnolias, so be sure to plant in a sunny sheltered spot to minimise frost damage.
Premier Cru was developed by UK grower Maurice Foster, and is a seedling of Blood Moon, a notably dark red variety.
