Magnolia ‘Black Tulip’

Magnolia ‘Black Tulip’ is a striking deciduous magnolia renowned for its deep, dark red to maroon tulip-shaped flowers that make a bold statement in any garden. Blooming in mid to late spring before the leaves appear, its large, upright blossoms have a dramatic, almost velvety appearance, creating a strong contrast against the bare branches.

This cultivar grows as a medium-sized tree with a neat, upright to oval habit, typically reaching 5–7 meters in height. Its branching structure is strong and symmetrical, giving the tree an elegant silhouette even when not in flower.

Fresh green foliage emerges after flowering, providing a lush summer canopy, which may turn soft yellow in autumn before dropping. The dark, glossy leaves complement the intense flower colour beautifully.

‘Black Tulip’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Shelter from strong winds helps protect its early blooms. Ideal as a specimen tree, lawn feature, or near entrances and patios, Magnolia ‘Black Tulip’ is perfect for gardeners seeking a dramatic, eye-catching focal point with unusual, dark-colored spring flowers.
