Magnolia Tree
The Queen of Spring Flowering Trees
Few sights are more breathtaking than a Magnolia tree in full bloom. Before the leaves even appear, the branches are covered in enormous, tulip-shaped or star-shaped flowers in shades of white, pink, or purple. It is a prehistoric plant that brings a sense of Southern elegance and timeless beauty to the northern garden.
Why You Need It:
- Showstopper: The massive blooms are visible from down the street.
- Fragrance: Many varieties have a lemon or sweet perfume.
- Specimen: The perfect single tree for a front lawn focal point.
Planting Tips:
Plant in Full Sun to Part Sun. Magnolias have fleshy roots that damage easily, so plant carefully and mulch well. Protect from harsh winter winds if possible.
