A Shrub-Like Magnolia With Prolific Blooms
Get all-season interest and magnolia blooms to your outdoor space with the Saucer Magnolia. This cross between the Magnolia liliflora and the Magnolia denudata is a multi-stemmed, shrubby plant perfect for full sun locations.
With small, low branched limbs, the Saucer Magnolia is ideal for magnolia lovers who want the same beauty on a smaller scale. This tree produces spring blooms that appear as early as February.
The blooms will continue to reappear through summer and fall, even until winter. The Saucer Magnolia's dark green leaves have fuzzy undersides and smooth tops, creating a bold contrast against the bright flowers. And during the winter months, you’ll still experience eye catching beauty with the Saucer Magnolia's silver bark glistening in the sun.
This shrub-like tree is both visually appealing and easy to maintain. With little-to-no maintenance and a fair tolerance for clay soil, it’s perfect for even new gardeners. Often mistaken for the Chinese Magnolia, this tree can be pruned to grow as a shrub or small tree with single or multiple trunks. Plus, the Saucer Magnolia grows an impressive 1-2 feet per growing season.
Get your Saucer Magnolia and bring low-maintenance pink blooms to your landscape. Order yours today!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Saucer Magnolia in full sun and rich, well-draining soil. Although this tree can tolerate clay soil, it will do best in acidic, organically rich soil. Dig a hole that is 2-3 times the width and the same depth of the root ball (or container it is shipped in). Remove the plant from the container and place in the hole. Backfill the dirt, being careful not to pack the dirt in too tightly.
2. Watering: Water immediately after planting and continue to water frequently (2-3 times a week) until well established, approximately 6 months after placement.

United StatesLove my saucer magnolia
I was thrilled to find a saucer magnolia. It isn’t available locally. I planted her outside my window so she is the first thing I see each and every morning. She is healthy and hope she stays healthy.
United StatesSo far it's kickin buyy!
We ordered it in a week of high 80s temperatures so was expecting it to be in so so condition but it was really healthy. We have waited to do the review to give it time to see how it comes along..... its been about 3 weeks and we absolutely love it!. We added 4 more orders after. Wish we could add pictures
