Why Choose Magnolia Susan?

Magnolia ‘Susan’ is a member of the renowned “Little Girl” series, bred for their resilience and gorgeous, tulip-shaped flowers. Unlike larger magnolias, the ‘Susan’ variety remains relatively compact, growing 3–4 metres tall, making it perfect for smaller gardens or as a feature near patios. Its blooms are intensely coloured and appear reliably each spring, offering a burst of colour and attracting pollinators. Magnolia ‘Susan’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and can withstand cooler New Zealand climates, thanks to its frost tolerance.

Planting and Care Tips

Plant your magnolia susan tree in rich, well-draining soil and position it in a spot where it receives morning sun and shelter from harsh winds. Water regularly during the first year to establish roots. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and protects the roots. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain its neat, bushy shape. Magnolia ‘Susan’ is fairly low-maintenance, requiring minimal fertiliser and care once established.

Companion Plants and Alternatives

Magnolias pair beautifully with other flowering trees and shrubs. If you’re keen to expand your collection or compare varieties, consider adding complementary trees such as Magnolia stellata Waterlily for delicate white blooms, or Magnolia grandiflora Little Gem for glossy evergreen foliage and creamy flowers. For dramatic flair, Magnolia Genie offers deep burgundy flowers, while Magnolia Star Wars brings enormous pink blooms. Outside the magnolia family, companion plants like Cordyline stricta or Melicytus lanceolatus (Mahoe Plant) can add texture and year-round interest to your garden palette.
