This one is a very elegant late winter/early spring bloomer and is great for smaller spaces as it's more slow growing and compact than other flowering trees. This is a deciduous magnolia so it sheds its leave over the winter. Likes full sun to part shade, well drained loamy, slightly acidic soil. Should be watered well its first season and benefits from a mulch. Gorgeous gorgeous plant, makes a carpet of petals underneath for a magical show of color when it blooms.
