What Makes Magnolia Felix Special?

Magnolia Felix is celebrated for its huge, vibrant pink, goblet-shaped blooms that appear in late winter to early spring. Each flower can be up to 30cm across, creating a truly memorable display even before most other trees have woken up from their winter slumber. Magnolia Felix is a deciduous variety growing up to 5–6 metres tall, making it ideal as a stand-alone feature tree in a lawn, along a driveway, or anchoring your outdoor entertaining area.

Similar varieties, such as Magnolia stellata Waterlily and Magnolia Star Wars, also offer stunning seasonal colour for gardens across New Zealand.

How to Plant and Grow Magnolia Felix

Like many magnolias, Magnolia Felix thrives best in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with plenty of organic matter. It enjoys a position in full sun or partial shade and benefits from shelter from strong winds. Water deeply during dry periods, particularly in the first few years as your tree establishes. With patience and the right care, your Magnolia Felix will reward you with magnificent flowers and graceful form season after season.

When considering garden companions, evergreen options like Magnolia grandiflora Little Gem or striking varieties such as Magnolia Genie can complement Magnolia Felix beautifully.
