Saucer Magnolia

The Saucer Magnolia (Magnolia x soulangeana) is a beautiful ornamental tree that would serve as a lovely specimen plant for your front or side yard. The Magnolia prefers a bit of protection, so placement beside your house or outbuilding would be good choice.

The most endearing feature of this tree is its early spring cup-like blossoms that are white with a purple blush. The unique, large, blooms lend the tree an enchanting appearance as the flowers appear as delicate goblets placed among the leafless branches.

The sweet fragrance will soon draw nectar and pollen-gathering insects to your yard. Hummingbirds in particular will love to sip from the blossomed cups as the Magnolia serves up its spring bounty.

As summer advances vibrant medium green leaves will fill out your Magnolia. Without pruning, this tree takes on a multi-stemmed branching habit that lends it a lovely rounded form, with a symmetry that will compliment any location in your yard. In the fall, your Magnolias leaves will turn an earthy yellow-brown, to accent the more common brighter fall colors.

The Saucer Magnolia is a beautiful ornamental tree for your yard with unique spring flowers you'll enjoy for years to come. Order one for yourself today!
