Description
Magnolia Genie (Magnolia × soulangeana 'Genie') is a compact ornamental magnolia prized for its rich, maroon-purple blooms with rose-colored edges. These lightly fragrant, cup-shaped flowers emerge in early spring and continue into summer, offering an extended season of color and elegance. Genie’s dramatic floral display begins before the foliage appears, making each bloom even more striking against its bare branches.
Thriving in Zones 5–9, this deciduous magnolia prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. With a mature height of 10–13 feet and a spread of 4–6 feet, its narrow, upright pyramidal form makes it ideal for smaller spaces, garden borders, or as a captivating specimen plant. Genie Magnolia’s green summer foliage turns copper-bronze in fall, ensuring year-round interest and charm in your landscape.
