Use in landscaping projects
Magnolia grandiflora is a spectacular evergreen tree with large glossy leaves and huge, intensely fragrant white flowers in summer. It is a prestigious choice for hotel entrances, villas, corporate headquarters, Mediterranean gardens and luxury landscaping. It remains decorative in winter, when most trees are bare.
Planting and spacing
Hardy to about -12°C, Magnolia grandiflora does best in regions with mild winters, in sites sheltered from cold winds, for example next to south-facing buildings. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral, rich, well-drained soils. Planting is done in spring so the plant can root before its first winter.
Care and maintenance
In the first years it needs regular watering and mulching to keep the soil moist. Young specimens are protected with horticultural fleece in severe winters. Pruning is limited to removing damaged branches.
