Mountain Gordlinia

A rare flowering beauty with fragrant white blooms, glossy green foliage, and fiery fall color that brings something truly special to the landscape. FEATURES: Unique flowering tree created by crossing Franklin Tree and Loblolly Bay, combining the beauty of two remarkable North American plants Large, fragrant white flowers with golden-yellow centers resemble delicate camellia blooms from midsummer into fall Glossy, deep green foliage creates a lush, elegant appearance throughout the growing season Beautiful red, orange, and burgundy fall foliage adds rich seasonal color, with some leaves persisting through winter in warmer climates Naturally upright, graceful form makes a stunning specimen tree for smaller landscapes, garden borders, and outdoor living spaces Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip: Make Mountain Gordlinia the centerpiece of a layered flowering garden by planting it where its large white blooms can stand out against darker evergreen foliage; pair it with deep green hollies, azaleas, or blue-flowering hydrangeas for a beautiful contrast, then add low-growing ferns or woodland perennials to soften the planting beneath its graceful canopy. For an especially memorable design, position Mountain Gordlinia near an outdoor seating area where its fragrant summer blooms can be appreciated and its vibrant red and orange fall foliage can become part of the garden's seasonal display.
