Product information
This pack of 4 mixed Magnolia plants can be used to create a striking focal point in the garden for years to come. The appearance of Magnolia flowers marks the end of winter in the gardening world, and these showy spring blossom often emerge even before the plant’s glossy green foliage.
Once established, Magnolia demands very little attention yet is a real show stopper when in full bloom. These plants are relatively slow growing and don’t require much pruning, other than to remove damaged branches. In fact, it is best to not prune the shrub too far back as it may get stressed and have trouble flowering.
Magnolia is pollinated by beetles and other beneficial crawling insects, so the flowers are robust to prevent bugs eating their way through. The vibrant colour and sweet scent of these flowers will attract other pollinators to the garden, including bees, birds and butterflies.
Our Magnolia Collection includes a growers selection from common varieties such as Rosea, Stellata, Susan and Soulangeana or more unusual types like Betty, Fairy Cream, Galaxy, Nigra and more. Included are differing flower colours and types, from pink, purple, bicolour, white and cream shades forming traditional tulip-shaped flowers or more exotic star-shaped oriental bursts.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
