Indulge in the captivating allure of the Alexandrina Magnolia tree, renowned for its vibrant and distinctive blossoms. This tree adds a unique elegance and burst of color to any garden setting. Its accommodating size makes it perfect for gardens of all sizes. Order now to witness the spectacular display of color during the bloom period.

This mid-sized shade tree, known as saucer magnolia, has held a special spot in the spring scenery since its first cultivation in the 1800s. With a maximum height of 30 feet and width of 25 feet, it boasts a lovely rounded appearance. As it grows taller, a skilled gardener can trim lower branches to create a shaded area perfect for a garden bench. In early spring, the tree is adorned with countless tulip-shaped flowers in a delicate pale pink color on the outside and white on the inside, just before the arrival of its dark green leaves. 

Saucer Magnolia has a moderate growth rate of one to two feet per year and thrives in full sun. It is adaptable to various soil types, including acidic, sandy, clay, or loam, and only requires consistent moisture. For a vibrant spring display, combine Saucer Magnolia with other early bloomers such as coneflowers, spring bulbs, and forsythia.
