Magnolia soulangeana – Stunning Spring Blooms with Broad, Elegant Foliage

Magnolia soulangeana, commonly known as the saucer magnolia, is one of the most beloved deciduous magnolias, prized for its spectacular spring flowering display. From early to mid-spring, it produces large, saucer-shaped flowers that range in colour from soft pink to rich purple and white, creating a breathtaking spectacle that signals the start of the growing season.

Growing to a substantial size of 6–8 metres tall and wide, this magnolia features large, ovate green leaves that provide a lush, architectural presence throughout the summer months. Its broad, spreading form makes it an excellent focal point or specimen tree in medium to large gardens.

Although deciduous, its seasonal interest is extended by the striking flower buds that emerge in late winter and the bold leaf shape that adds texture and depth to the landscape. ‘Soulangeana’ thrives in fertile, well-drained soil and prefers a sheltered position in full sun to partial shade to protect its delicate blooms from late frosts.
