Magnolia Sundew

Magnolia Sundew Details

Magnolia soulangeana Sundew, commonly known as Saucer Magnolia, is a popular variety due to its spectacular flowering and pleasant fragrance. It bears masses of large and showy, soft-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 Sundew 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.
