Magnolia 'Susan' (Magnolia Tree)

Magnolia 'Susan' (Magnolia Tree) Details

“Susan” is a variety of Magnolia grown for its spectacular flowering and compact growth habit. Red-purple buds open in spring to reveal masses of fragrant and showy, dark pink flowers. The blooms appear just before the foliage is borne and continue for a few weeks. The leaves emerge mid-green in spring, age quickly to become dark green, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. It typically grows to just 3 m tall and 2 m wide, and can be contained with trimming as necessary. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. “Susan” is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, or planted as a cluster for a stunning display. The beauty of this tree will please no matter where it is planted.
