Magnolia sieboldii
Also called Korean Mountain Magnolia
Oyama magnolia is a deciduous shrub or small tree of the Magnolia genus, native to China, Japan and Korea, grown for its large, fragrant white summer flowers. It is one of the hardiest magnolias, so it suits cool temperate gardens.
Magnolia sieboldii, or Siebold's magnolia, also known as Korean mountain magnolia and Oyama magnolia, is a species of Magnolia native to east Asia in China, Japan, and Korea. It is named after the German doctor Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796–1866).
Magnolia sieboldii is grown as an ornamental tree in gardens. It is one of the hardiest magnolias, successful in cultivation as far north as Arboretum Mustila in Finland. The cultivar 'Colossus' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Called mongnan or mokran (목란/木蘭), Siebold's magnolia is the national flower of North Korea.
