Magnolias are a popular choice for formal gardens due to their strong form, flowers and leafy growth, and they grow wonderfully both in ground and in pots.
Sunlight: Full sun to part shade
Watering: Regular watering
Soil: Well drained soil
Mulching: Magnolias hate being dry, so make the most of every drop by mulching around your magnolia trees and pots to lock in moisture.
Pruning: Evergreen magnolias can be pruned, but seasonal pruning should be avoided with deciduous varieties unless absolutely necessary.
Varieties: Evergreen: Bull Bay (M. grandiflora), Little Gem (M. grandiflora ‘Little Gem’), Teddy Bear (M. grandiflora “Teddy Bear’), Port Wine (M. figo, syn. Michelia figo).
