Saucer Magnolia

Spectacular Fast Growing Tree with Unique Spring Flowers

The Saucer Magnolia 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 6-10 inch blooms lend the tree an enchanting appearance as the flowers appear like delicate goblets placed among the leafless branches.  

The sweet fragrance will soon draw nectar and pollen-gathering insects to your yard.  Hummingbirds will particularly love to sip from the blossomed cups as the Magnolia’s serves up its spring bounty.
 
As summer advances, vibrant 6 inch long, medium green leaves will fill out your Magnolia.  It can reach a height of 30 feet with an spread of 20 feet.  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 Magnolia’s 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.
