CONNOISSEURS VARIETY.

A remarkable select variety of magnolia, of neat upright habit and bright apple green deciduous foliage. Striking kingfisher blue flower buds opening to canary yellow blooms, during April to mid-May. 

Planting: Choose a spot which is away from a frost pocket and is sheltered from northerly and easterly winds. Make sure that your chosen site is large enough, as some magnolias grow quite large. Any reasonable garden soil will be suitable, but many varieties dislike chalky soils. Add plenty of peat or soil improver to the soil and avoid planting too deeply.

Pruning: Not necessary, but remove any dead wood or unwanted branches after flowering.

    I have two Hydrangers purchased last year from Ashwoods and a friend thought they were lovely having weathered the winter and as a result I purchased another one as a Gift and they are highly delighted. The Hydrangers from Ashwoods arrive in a tall box secured within for transit and after a arriving and resting they are lovely.
