From wikipedia

Magnolias flower before or just as leaves are arriving. They pick their time and sometimes fall foul of the frost. Time and again I try protect the best of these flowering plants that are very hardy other than for the delicate flowers.

 

Pink, white, cream and purple are the most common colours of Magnolia. (Why is magnolia paint such a wimpish shade?)

 

The waxy petals have fantastic textures.

 

Shrubs can grow into sizable trees particularly if protected from high wind.
