Magnolia soulangeana (Saucer Magnolia)

Magnolia soulangeana landscape uses

Magnolia soulangeana is an ideal choice as a stunning feature tree in lawns, courtyards, and large garden beds, thanks to its impressive display of large, tulip-shaped flowers in early spring. It’s perfect for adding seasonal impact and soft structure to both formal and informal landscapes. This deciduous magnolia also works well in mixed borders, alongside evergreens or underplanted with bulbs and groundcovers. Its compact form makes it suitable for suburban gardens with moderate space.

How to grow Magnolia soulangeana in NZ

To grow Magnolia soulangeana successfully in New Zealand, plant it in a sunny to partially shaded location with rich, well-drained soil. Choose a sheltered spot to protect its early spring flowers from strong winds and late frosts. Water the tree regularly during dry spells, especially while it is establishing. Apply mulch annually to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, and feed in spring with a slow-release fertiliser. Prune only to remove dead or crossing branches, ideally in late summer or early autumn.
