Deeper in the Garden - "Evergreen Asian Magnolias"

Presented by Mark Weathington, Director, Greg Paige, Director of Horticulture, and Blake Wentley, Education Assistant, JC Raulston Arboretum on February 21, 2024. We've got magnolias on the mind as we prepare for our Magnolia Study Day with the Magnolia Society International! This is an amazing genus of plants with some spectacular diversity, and since a whole day devoted to magnolias is surely not enough, we thought we'd go Deeper in the Garden on our Midweek Program and explore some of the rugged Asian evergreen selections in our collection. Join our Director, Mark, and our Director of Horticulture, Greg, our resident Magnolia Maniacs, as they show off the best of these garden powerhouses and get you hyped for our Magnolia Study Day in March! Plant list: Magnolia ‘Eternal Spring' Magnolia ‘Serendipity’ Magnolia 'Brass Monkey' Magnolia ‘Stellar Ruby’ Magnolia amabilis Magnolia lotungensis Magnolia delavayi Magnolia cavaleriei Magnolia figo Magnolia figo var. crassipes ‘Purple Queen’ This program was originally streamed live online. Tune into our midweek program live on Zoom, Wednesdays at 3:00pm eastern time. Here's the link: https://jcra.ncsu.edu/midweek/
