MAGNOLIA To many, the word magnolia evokes romantic images of the moss-draped Deep South. While some species in this diverse group thrive only in the balmy South, many others are surprisingly well-suited to the cold and harsh conditions here. The large leaves of magnolias impart a lush, almost tropical appearance while the flowers are without rival in their size and profusion. Before their leaves emerge in April and early May magnolias burst into bloom in a range of colors from white to pink to yellow (yes, yellow!). Magnolias prefer a sunny location and moist, well-drained soil. Since they have shallow, fibrous roots it is important to maintain a 2-3” layer of mulch over the root system. Name Alexandrina Form Spreading HxW 20’x20’ Ann Rounded 8’x8’ Fragrant, tulip-shaped purplish red flowers in spring. Compact size makes a great small specimen.

Upright 25’x10’ Reddish purple buds open into rich pinkish purple tulipshaped flowers. Blooms later than other saucer magnolias, reducing risk of frost injury. Narrow tree is perfect for tight spaces. Jane Spreading 15’x15’ Fragrant, tulip-shaped flowers are white on the inside and reddish purple on the outside.
