The yulan magnolia, or “jade lily,” is an early-flowering tree with fragrant, goblet-shaped white flowers that appear in late winter or early spring before the leaves emerge. These blooms give way to small, cone-like fruits that release red seeds on delicate threads by late summer. Native to China, yulan magnolia was likely the first magnolia cultivated, dating back nearly 4,000 years. Long used in traditional medicine, it is now also valued in modern skincare for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. Growing 8–16 inches per year, it is highly tolerant of air pollution making it well suited for urban conditions.
