A compact cultivar with a multi-stemmed habit, Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel' features strap-like flowers that are white on the inside and purplish-pink on the outside. Flowers bloom before the ovate leaves unfurl in the spring. The flowers are less susceptible than most magnolias to a late spring frost.
