Starting at:

£0.00 ex-VAT

Probably the most widely planted and traditional of the magnolia family, M. soulangeana is valued for its large, waxy, goblet-shaped flowers which are white with a rosy to violet blush and appear before the leaves in April. The tree is usually grown as a wide-spreading multi-stem tree. Ideally positioned near a window or in a front garden, so flowers can be enjoyed through the chilly spring, or alternatively in the foreground of dark evergreens. The tree requires a moist, acid-to-neutral soil to thrive and tolerates clay and pollution well. Not for dry or shallow chalk soils. Ultimate height and spread approx 6 meters.
