Large fragrant blooms make Magnolia soulangeana a clear spring focal point for a lawn or courtyard before its leaves appear. Pink-purple outer tepals and white interiors give each flower a crisp two-tone finish.
The multi-stemmed crown broadens and rounds with age, carrying green summer leaves that turn yellow-brown in fall. Smooth gray bark keeps the branching visible after leaf drop.
This deciduous tree suits a sheltered border, cottage garden, or city garden. Regular watering during establishment and dry periods provides the consistent moisture it needs.
