Plant in full sun. They like fertile soil, regular feeding when young, but are generally carefree. The flowers vary in size by Magnolia variety, but many are large, some huge, close to 12 inches across. The flowers open slowly as the large blossom needs time to develop. The center of the blossom is intricate and attractive as well.
Flowers are pure white, fragrant, but last only one day after opening.
Blooms are seen in spring to early summer. You may be interested in receiving great tropical plants mail order from Master Gardener. We ship from spring thru fall depending on the weather up north.
