Product description
Ever popular with gardeners, Magnolia is a classic shrub that provides vibrant colour in spring and summer. Ornate flowers blossom early in the season and are complemented by glossy green foliage. Magnolias in full bloom are an eye-catching focal point and will be an ideal feature plant for your garden.
Magnolia shrubs are relatively slow growing and can take around 10-20 years to reach full maturity. They are easy to grow, requiring very little maintenance once established. Interestingly, Magnolia is a prehistoric plant and has been around since the time of the dinosaurs. As bees didn’t exist back then, Magnolias were pollinated by a range of insects, including beetles. The bright fragrant flowers will attract bees, birds, butterflies and other pollinators to your garden.
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.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Magnolias benefit from protection against strong winds, which can damage their delicate flowers.
How to Water
Magnolias prefer regular watering, especially during dry spells. Ensure the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering is recommended for strong root development.
How to Plant
Plant Magnolias in well-draining, slightly acidic soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water well after planting, and mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
