Magnolia Trees

Magnolia trees bring bold, sculptural flowers to the garden, with many deciduous varieties opening their blooms on bare branches in spring. Choose from compact forms for a smaller border or suitable container, or more substantial trees to create a lasting focal point. Plant magnolias in a sheltered position with sun or light shade and moist, well-drained soil, checking the mature size and soil preferences of each cultivar.
