Buy Mercury® Magnolia online. Discover Mercury® Magnolia, a breathtaking late-blooming tree that captivates with its massive, fragrant lavender-pink flowers.

Perfect as a street or specimen tree, this magnolia's vibrant blooms and delightful fragrance create a stunning focal point, transforming any landscape into a sensory masterpiece.

Crafted through a prestigious collaboration between NC State University and Dr. Tom Ranney, J. Frank Schmidt & Son Nursery, and the late Dr. August Kehr, Mercury® Magnolia boasts a robust pyramidal form. Its strong central leader and upright branching create a graceful, enduring silhouette that remains lush and green year-round, offering a subtle burst of color even in winter. This resilient structure ensures low maintenance and long-lasting beauty, making it a standout choice for discerning homeowners and landscape designers.

Elevate your outdoor space with the unmatched elegance and reliability of Mercury® Magnolia. Its late-blooming nature and frost-resistant blooms make it a smart investment for vibrant, worry-free beauty, whether lining a boulevard or gracing a private garden.
