Magnolia ashei
Ashe's magnolia is a deciduous small tree or large shrub from northwestern Florida, grown for its very large, fragrant creamy-white flowers. It flowers young, often within 3 to 4 years, and is typically grown in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil.
Magnolia ashei is a species of flowering plant in the family Magnoliaceae, endemic to northwestern Florida. It is known commonly as Ashe's magnolia. It is sometimes considered to be a subspecies or variety of Magnolia macrophylla which occurs further north in the southeastern United States, but is now generally considered a distinct species. It was discovered in Okaloosa County, Florida by William Willard Ashe, and named after him by Charles Alfred Weatherby.
This species is endemic to the "panhandle" of Florida, where it grows from sea level up to 50 meters elevation.
Magnolia ashei is cultivated as an ornamental plant, used as a flowering tree in gardens. Young plants start flowering at an early age, even just 3–4 years old, making it popular in gardening.
