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.

Magnolia Susan with deep reddish-purple buds opening in spring to fragrant, cupped flowers reddish purple outside, pink within. Height can reach up to 4 meters.

The Magnolia Susan is a stunning deciduous shrub or small tree, admired for its striking, tulip-shaped flowers that add a splash of colour to any garden. This variety features deep purple-red blooms that appear in mid to late spring, providing a beautiful contrast against the fresh green foliage. Compact in size with an upright growth habit, Magnolia Susan is an excellent choice for small gardens, borders, or as a focal point in larger landscapes, offering both beauty and seasonal interest.

Where to Position Your Magnolia Susan

Magnolia Susan thrives in full sun to partial shade, where it can best showcase its vibrant blooms. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil to support healthy growth and abundant flowering. This hardy magnolia is adaptable to various soil types but benefits from a sheltered position, protected from harsh winds and late frosts, which can damage the early blooms. Regular watering during dry spells will help maintain its lush foliage and encourage prolific flowering.

Growth and Maintenance

Magnolia Susan is valued for its moderate growth rate and upright, bushy habit, typically reaching a height of around 3-4 metres. Pruning is generally not necessary, but if needed, it should be done immediately after flowering to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Mulching around the base of the plant in spring can help retain moisture and protect the roots during colder months.
