About Magnolia soulangeana Andre Leroy 15 Litre Pot

Magnolia × soulangeana ‘André Leroy’ – Spring Spectacle in Pink and White

Description
Magnolia × soulangeana ‘André Leroy’ is a classic magnolia hybrid, admired for its abundant, tulip-shaped blooms. Opening in March and April before the foliage appears, the flowers are soft white inside with rich pink-purple exteriors, giving dramatic contrast on bare branches.

Its broad, rounded crown and elegant branching habit make it a superb specimen tree. In summer, deep-green leaves provide structure, followed by a golden autumn tint. Long-lived and reliable, ‘André Leroy’ is a true centrepiece for medium to large gardens.

Size & Growth
A vigorous variety, typically growing 5–7 m tall and wide over time, forming a rounded, spreading canopy.

Growing Conditions
Thrives in full sun or light shade, in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Hardy and adaptable but benefits from shelter from cold winds and protection of early flower buds from late frosts.
