| Description | Magnolia grandiflora 'Coolwyn Gloss'
Magnolia 'Coolwyn Gloss' PBR is a lovely and very large Magnolia. The gorgeously lime green, glossy leaves have one of the richest, rusty velvet brown undersides a Magnolia can produce. And some of the largest flowers, with diameters reaching 30cm wide and cup shaped.
'Coolwyn Gloss' PBR are perfect for larger properties needing a big feature tree, shade tree or large flowering screen. They tolerate a wide range of soil types, are relatively disease and pest resistant and, due to their neat habit, are quite low maintenance!

The Jacaranda tree puts on a breathtaking floral display. Its vivid lilac-blue clusters of trumpet shaped blossoms appear in the summer, later falling to the earth carpeting the ground with a mass of colour. It is said that if you are walking underneath the Jacaranda tree and one of the trumpet blossoms falls on your head you will be favoured by fortune. | Magnolia grandifora
Magnolia 'Big Gem™️' is a lusciously large evergreen Magnolia. The leaves are large and pointed with less gloss than other Magnolias. Along with the large leaves are gorgeously bright, white and heavily fragrant big flowers in the warmer months. They are quite hardy trees, tolerating most soil and weather conditions and make wonderful feature hedges, large shade trees or specimen plants.

What you need to know when you buy English Box:
Firstly, English Box is low maintenance, meaning it only needs a trim 1-2 times per year to keep its shape as a very neat hedge or border.
This means that English Box plants are slow growing, so if you want to get a perfect low box hedge or border in a hurry, you might want to invest in larger English Box plants.
You need to buy at least 5 English Box plants per metre of border or hedge you want to create. Some traditional gardening books recommend planting even more! So it pays to take advantage of one of our bulk discounts on English Box.
