Magnolia

Product Description

There’s nothing sweeter than the smell of these large flowers, which bloom in spring and summer, depending on variety. Plant your tree in well-draining, rich soil in full-sun spots. Make sure you give them plenty of room to expand—some can grow up to 40 feet wide.

Try:

Southern Magnolia: Con: it’s a slow grower (up to 10 years from seed); Pro: it’s evergreen

Bigleaf Magnolia: The name says it all—leaves may grow up to 32 inches long
