Magnolia x 'Inspiration' pbr

Cultural
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.
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 winter to spring flowering.
Landscape Uses
Use as a superb evergreen compact feature tree, large screen, or dense hedge. Ideal for background planting, hedging, or creating privacy in gardens, it works beautifully in pleached hedges. Its prolific flowering and sweet perfume add character and charm.
