Why Choose Magnolia 'Genie'?

Magnolia 'Genie' stands out among small flowering trees for its rich, velvet-like petals and compact growth. Unlike many magnolia varieties, 'Genie' only reaches about 3–4 metres tall, making it ideal for smaller gardens and urban landscapes. Its upright habit ensures a neat and tidy appearance, while the deep purple-red blooms provide dramatic flair from spring through autumn.

Magnolia 'Genie' is also notably hardy and adapts well to most New Zealand climates. It prefers a sunny or lightly shaded position with moist, well-drained soil. With minimal maintenance required, this magnolia offers both beauty and convenience for busy homeowners.

Planting and Care Tips

Magnolia 'Genie' flourishes best in slightly acidic soil and benefits from organic mulch to retain moisture and protect roots. Plant your Genie in a location sheltered from strong winds, as magnolias dislike disturbance. During the first two years, keep the soil consistently moist. Fertilise in early spring with a slow-release fertiliser for optimum growth and flowers. Prune only to remove damaged or crossing branches once the plant is established.

Stunning Companions for Magnolia 'Genie'

If you love the beauty of Magnolia 'Genie', consider mixing it with other exquisite flowering trees to create a spectacular display.
