Magnolia loebneri ‘Leonard Messel’ is a stunning deciduous magnolia known for its early spring display of fragrant, star-shaped flowers. The blooms emerge as soft purple-pink buds, opening to reveal pale pink petals with a white interior, creating a delicate contrast. Growing to around 4–6 meters tall and wide, it has a graceful, multi-stemmed habit with lush green foliage that turns golden in autumn.

In Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane, ‘Leonard Messel’ thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil. It prefers regular watering, especially during dry periods, and benefits from mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead wood. Frost-hardy and low-maintenance, this magnolia adds elegance, fragrance, and seasonal interest to gardens, making it a beautiful feature tree or part of a mixed border.
