Do you love snowdrops? How about a snowdrop tree? It sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?
Native to North America and notoriously difficult to propagate Halesia diptera ‘Magniflora’, commonly known as the snowdrop tree, is quite rare and makes an extremely beautiful, if rarely seen, specimen plant. It can be grown as a tree or as a large shrub giving it some versatility and allowing it to be grown in a number of different settings.
The pristine white blooms that give the plant its common name can be seen from May onwards and the characteristic pendulous, snowdrop-like flowers hanging gracefully from its branches are a true spectacle.
There are several snowdrop trees available for U.K. gardens, but Halesia diptera ‘Magniflora’ is one of the largest flowering cultivars available.
