Description
Susan Magnolia is a hardy hybrid ideal for Massachusetts gardens, featuring rich reddish-purple cup-shaped blooms in early spring. The fragrant flowers appear before the dark green foliage, creating a striking contrast. In fall, the leaves take on a copper-bronze hue, adding warmth to the landscape.
With a rounded, mounded form, Susan Magnolia is a standout specimen tree for smaller yards. Its coarse texture makes it a beautiful contrast in mixed plantings. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this resilient magnolia is perfect for New England gardens.
