This much loved and proven variety of Magnolia will really give your garden the Wow factor.

Large flower cups will bloom in Spring and these can measure up to 25cm in diameter making a real impact and sure to turn heads. The wonderfully showy white blooms are flushed pink and purple and this Magnolia would be perfectly suited to the back of a garden border or even in a large container. In some very long and hot summers the magnolia will produce a fruit which looks like a purple bunch of grapes. they are edible, but please research before eating!!

What a fabulous gift this would make to give friends and relatives a statement piece for their garden, renowned for its stunning blooms for years and years to come.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, this Magnolia soulangeana measures approximately 30-50cm on receipt

What This Plant Brings to Your Garden

Spring cups on bare wood

Goblet blooms open on bare branches in early spring, some reaching 25cm across, giving a strong show weeks before the leaves unfurl.

Copes with chalk

Unusually for a magnolia, it copes with chalky, alkaline soil and shrugs off wind better than most, widening where you can plant it.

Early forage

The early cups draw beetles and warm-day bees hunting pollen, giving a food source in a lean stretch of the gardening year.

About This Plant

Étienne Soulange-Bodin crossed Magnolia denudata with Magnolia liliiflora at his garden near Paris, and the hybrid first flowered in 1826. More than a hundred named forms have followed since. The rounded blooms range through white, pink and soft maroon, and in a long hot summer the plant may set an odd cluster of fruit.

Pruning is best kept light, since magnolias heal slowly and resent hard cutting. Choose a spot clear of frost pockets, as a cold snap can brown the opening flowers overnight. A spring mulch of leaf mould keeps the shallow roots cool and feeds steady growth without fuss.
