| Description | Spectacular large shrub or small tree valued for its beautiful large tulip-shaped blooms, purplish pink with white interior. Great garden specimen; use it to anchor shrub beds. Deciduous. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Spring |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Deciduous |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Fragrant, Showy Flowers |
| Design Ideas | A medium-sized flowering tree that is unmatched for elegant beauty and old-fashioned charm. Plant as a single specimen in the front yard or flank your entry walk with a matched pair. This is a darker Saucer Magnolia that produces better color for larger landscapes, where it stands out even at a distance. Such large softly colored blossoms make a great study near patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces. Can be planted as a small city street tree, but does not do well where pavement is salted in winter. |
| Flower Color | Purplish-pink |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Care Instructions | Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a formal appearance, shear annually after flowering. |
