Walk through the bluish-green, fragrant rosemary divider and see, on your left, three Sweet Bay Magnolias, slender and multitrunked. These are also from the eastern U.S., yet make narrow, semi-evergreen leaves, dark and glossy on top, pale silvery beneath. White, rose-scented flowers appear from June into early fall.
