Siebold’s Magnolia, The Gentle White Star of the Garden

Siebold’s Magnolia (Magnolia sieboldii) is a truly graceful and calming tree, famous for its soft white flowers that bloom like little moons in early summer. When you see it, the first thing you notice is its pure white petals shaped like a cup, opening gently to reveal a deep crimson center—like a hidden jewel. The flowers hang slightly downward, giving them a shy, elegant look.

Its leaves are broad, smooth, and fresh green, making a perfect backdrop for the glowing white blossoms. When the wind passes, the tree sways softly, and the flowers release a light, sweet fragrance that feels peaceful and refreshing.
