Evergreen Magnolias can tolerate part shade but do best in a sunny position, sheltered from strong winds. Once established they are heat and frost tolerant.
Soil:
Prefers a fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soil.
Aspect:
Full sun to part shade.
Maintenance:
Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape or remove any damaged or diseased growth. Apply a general fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth. Will benefit from a yearly application of mulch.
Water Requirements:
Moderately drought tolerant once established but will benefit from supplementary watering. Will not tolerate waterlogged soil.
Seasonal Interest:
Late spring to autumn flowering.

Landscape Uses

Is suitable for lining driveways or pathways, creating a grand entrance with its upright growth and abundant flowers. Its dense foliage and upright growth habit can also be utilized to create natural screens or hedges for privacy. Additionally, it thrives when grown in large containers on patios or in courtyards, allowing for close enjoyment of its blooms and fragrance. It is a great choice for cottage and formal gardens. Plant with other classics such as Camellias and Hydrangeas.
