The Butterfly Magnolia tree grows flowers the same size as Magnolia Grandiflora with a creamy yellow color. The Butterfly Magnolia tree is very tolerant of salt water vapor and spray and is often seen in plantings near coastal resorts. The large creamy-yellow colored flowers of the Japanese Butterfly Magnolia tree are sweetly aromatic, perfect for planting near an open window. The fantastic Butterfly Flowering Japanese magnolia trees were hybridized and introduced into the commercial market recently by Phil Savage from Michigan. The fragrant cold-hardy blooms of Butterfly Flowering Japanese Magnolia Trees glow a beautiful yellow.
