Magnolia 'Black Tulip' – Half Standard
Among the most dramatic of all flowering trees, Magnolia 'Black Tulip' produces enormous, goblet-shaped blooms in a deep burgundy-purple — a colour so rich it appears almost black in certain light. Supplied as a half standard, this specimen has a clear stem topped with a shapely, branching crown, giving it an architectural presence that works beautifully as a lawn focal point, in a large container, or as a statement within a mixed border.
Why Choose 'Black Tulip'
- Exceptionally large, deep burgundy-purple tulip-shaped flowers in spring
- Half standard form — elegant clear stem with a structured crown
- Slower-growing and more compact than many magnolias — ideal for smaller gardens
- Deciduous with attractive mid-green foliage through summer
- Award of Garden Merit (AGM) — RHS recommended
Growing Guide
- Position: Full sun to partial shade; sheltered from late frosts to protect early blooms
- Soil: Moist, well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic; avoid shallow chalk
- Hardiness: Fully hardy (RHS H5)
- Ultimate height: 4–6m over many years
- Pruning: Minimal — remove dead or crossing branches after flowering
Planting & Care Tips
- Plant in a sheltered spot to protect flowers from spring frosts and strong winds
- Mulch generously around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds
- Avoid disturbing the roots once established — magnolias dislike being moved
- Feed with a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support flowering
