Magnolia San Jose

Magnolia San Jose Details

Magnolia soulangeana San Jose, commonly known as Saucer Magnolia, is a popular variety due to its spectacular flowering and pleasant fragrance. It bears masses of large and showy, white and pink flowers through late winter and early spring. The fragrant blooms are borne on the naked stems before the foliage emerges. The lush foliage emerges dark green in spring, remains this colour until autumn, then develops yellow tones before falling. It typically grows with a rounded form to about 8 m tall and 5 m wide, though it can be contained with trimming. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. Magnolia San Jose is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, included in cottage gardens, or used in avenue plantings. The beauty of this tree will please no matter where it is planted.
