Magnolias are deciduous or evergreen shrubs commonly found in woodlands or along river banks. They are grown for their showy, erect flowers which come in a wide range of colours from white to purple. Leaves are borne after the flowers and are ovate and alternate.

Magnolias also bear cone-like, red seeds which are very attractive in Autumn. Magnolias grow well in moist, well drained soil in sun or partial shade. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in midsummer.  Never fear cutting them hard back if they get a little large, they recover fast when done just after flowering and you can change the shape of them.
