Magnolia x soulangeana
Saucer Magnolia
A hybrid of two Asian magnolias.
Grows to a height of 30 feet in moist, rich soil and full sun.
Saucer magnolias have large creamy pink flowers in early spring that become the focal point of the landscape.
Horticulturist’s Notes: Saucer Magnolias often bloom before the risk of frost is passed, causing them to wilt in a cold snap. To avoid this, plant a late-flowering cultivar like ‘Marilyn’, ‘Jon Jon’ or ‘Ann.’
