The clean, fresh fragrance of our native Sweet Bay Magnolia is one of early summer's great experiences. Nature Hills is proud to offer one of the best cultivars of this beloved tree. Moonglow® Sweet Bay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana 'Jim Wilson') stays narrow and compact.

It will fit the space beautifully, even in smaller gardens. And graceful Moonglow Sweetbay Magnolia looks good all year long, with smooth, attractive bark and a well-balanced branch structure.

You'll want to be watching for the prominent flower buds to start to unfurl from late spring through summer. The lovely, creamy flowers open into a lavish cup shape and offer a hint of lemony fragrance.

Moonglow Sweet Bay Magnolia flowers will perfume your yard for weeks in a good year. The lavish display opens later, after all chance of frost. Use them in cut flower arrangements, or plan a yearly family picture under the Sweet Bay.

Enjoy flowers throughout the early summer. They are infused with a fresh, citrusy scent that brightens your mood, and layers in amazing scents to your landscape design.

Butterflies love the flowers, too. They'll come calling for nectar, and add their airy, vivid motion to your landscape.

These flowers are great in cut flower arrangements. Cut some of the blooming branches for a tall vase, or float a bloom or two in a shallow dish of water.

You may see sporadic, fragrant, creamy-white blooms throughout the season. Take advantage of them with a sharp set of garden snips and a vase on hand.

This entire tree is sweetly fragrant. You'll be pleased to know that the roots, branches, and leaves smell sweet and spicy, a bit like vanilla. Smooth bark has a handsome, metallic gray overcast.

The large, elongated leaves are very attractive, as well. The two-toned foliage is glossy, dark green on the top. The underneath has a silvery-white coating that catches the sunlight in a flashy display.

In mild winters, your Moonglow Sweet Bay leaves will likely remain on the tree all year long. In colder years, the semi-evergreen leaves are deciduous and fall off for winter.

Local songbirds love the showy, red seeds that brighten up in fall. Look fast, as birds take them quickly!

Moonglow tolerates clay soils and standing water. It laughs at arctic cold, and thrives in high heat and humidity.

Feel great about this choice. It's a beautiful tree and can be used in so many modern landscape applications. Place your order for Moonglow Sweet Bay Magnolia trees now!
