Semi-evergreen. Fragrant. At home in wet soil and dry alike.

Magnolia virginiana, the Sweetbay Magnolia, is one of the most versatile and underplanted native magnolias in eastern North America, a graceful small to medium tree that produces creamy white, intensely lemon-scented flowers from late spring through summer and holds its leaves semi-evergreen through winter in all but the coldest parts of its range. Native from coastal Massachusetts to Florida and west to Texas, it grows naturally in wet woodland margins, swamp edges, and along streams where most other magnolias would not establish. The southern variety is larger, more evergreen, and more vigorous than northern populations, making it the most desirable form for landscape use across a wide range of climates. If you are looking to buy Sweetbay Magnolia seeds or grow this native magnolia from seed, this is the species that delivers fragrance, wildlife value, and four-season interest with the least fuss of any magnolia available.

  • Creamy white, intensely lemon-scented flowers blooming repeatedly from late spring through summer
  • Semi-evergreen to evergreen in mild climates, providing winter green in most of its range
  • Native to wetland margins and stream banks, one of the most flood-tolerant magnolias available
  • Red seeds on bright red stalks in fall provide wildlife food and exceptional ornamental interest
  • Host plant for the Spicebush Swallowtail and Palamedes Swallowtail butterflies

Things you probably did not know about the Sweetbay Magnolia

It blooms for months, not weeks. Unlike most spring-blooming magnolias that flower for two weeks and are done, Sweetbay Magnolia produces new flowers repeatedly from May through August, with peak bloom in early summer. The fragrance on a warm evening is intense enough to carry across a considerable distance. A single tree in bloom fills the entire surrounding garden with the scent of clean lemons.

The leaves are silvery white on the underside. Sweetbay Magnolia leaves are deep green on top and bright silver-white beneath, which creates a distinctive shimmering effect when the wind moves through the canopy. This two-toned leaf is one of the most distinctive ornamental features of the tree and is particularly effective when the tree is backlit by afternoon sun.

It was among the first American trees to be cultivated in European gardens. European botanists encountered Sweetbay Magnolia in colonial America in the early 1600s and it was one of the earliest American native trees to be introduced into cultivation in Britain. It has been grown in English gardens for over 400 years and is still considered one of the finest American trees for the British climate.

The bark and leaves have been used medicinally for centuries. Sweetbay Magnolia bark was used by Indigenous peoples and later by colonial physicians as a febrifuge, a fever-reducing treatment, and as a substitute for quinine in treating malaria-like fevers. The aromatic bark contains magnolol and honokiol, compounds with documented anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic properties that have been studied in modern pharmaceutical research.

It’s a great value
Color: Black
My son is very happy with this iPad case. It fits perfectly, provides great protection against scratches and minor drops, and feels durable and well-made. The stand feature is very convenient for watching videos, reading, or working. It also has a sleek design and doesn’t add much extra weight to the device.

Great case for iPad
Color: Black
I saw a similar Zugu case for my iPad and almost bought it, but it looked like my iPad might not fit, so I hunted and found this VIKESI case, which cost about 1/3 as much as the Zugu. It's close to perfect. My iPad fits perfectly, and the almost infinite number of angles that it permits, along with magnets to hold it in place make it ideal for working on a desk or in my lap. The only minor downside is that it's on the heavy side, probably because of the magnets. But unless you're travelling with it (I've switched to a small Fire tablet for travel), that won't be an issue. Highly recommended.

The magnet does not stick to the refrigerator as advertised.. UPDATE ( I love it and it does stick)
Color: Pink
Although it is a nice case, it seems sturdy and it is very beautiful, my main reason for purchasewas I loved the fact that it sticked to the refrigerator. I was very disappointed to see that it does not. It’s too heavy, and it immediately begins to slide. That is the reason why I could not give it more than three stars. It disappointed me enough to where I’m really considering returning the item. UPDATE: I found out how to make a stick to the refrigerator and I absolutely love it! I changed my review and my stars! I’m really happy.
