The magnolia 'Lois' is a comparable tree to the butterflies and golden gift magnolia - Lois has strong yellow flowers with beautiful creamy yellow coloration that open over a period of 3-4 weeks. The flowers are very full and creamy yellow perhaps slightly more subdued than butterflies, but numerous in quantity. It's unusual and stands out from other trees due to its large yellow tulip shaped blooms. The color reminds me of lemon ice-cream and darkens as the blooms mature. In the spring, loads of blooms precede leaves, emerging from large buds with a creamy yellow color that stays strong through the life of the bloom. As the blooms fall from the tree in a shower of pedals, the leaves begin to emerge. The glossy leaves and elegant shape of the tree provide summer interest and a strong backdrop for other later blooming shrubs. For the yard it makes an amazing specimen tree coming in at around 18 to 20 ft. The specimens that we carry in the nursery have a strong single trunk and are grown to be full single trunk specimin trees.

We like the Lois magnolia in a number of settings. They make good specimen trees in the yard, but due to the early bloom also thrive on the edge of a forest garden. The smallish stature 20 ft. makes them an easier tree to find a place for and their unusual large yellow pedals make them a great combination with other trees spring pinks, purples, whites and reds. These trees are fairly easy to care for, they require little pruning and will do well in most soils, but like most trees thrive in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. For lighting they do well in anything from full sun to part shade.

Healthy Tree

I recently ordered Magnolia x acuminata 'Lois' after seeing this variety featured in Fine Gardening. The good people at New Blooms Nursery kept my tree in cold storage so that when it arrived to me it was still dormant. The tree looks to be very healthy and is a nice size. It was well packaged and the soil was moist. I would not hesitate to order from them again.
