The Saucer Japanese Magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana) is one of the most celebrated flowering trees in the world, prized for its huge, saucer-shaped blossoms that can measure up to 8 inches across. Each bloom is a masterpiece—white petals blushed with shades of pink and purple, opening in early spring before the leaves emerge.
This deciduous magnolia offers a dramatic floral display on a rounded, gracefully branched tree, making it an ideal specimen for lawns, entryways, or focal points in the landscape. While breathtaking in spring, its large, glossy summer leaves and smooth gray bark also provide beauty year-round.
The Saucer Magnolia is a low-maintenance choice, tolerating a range of soils and climates. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and asks only for protection from strong winds to keep its delicate blooms looking perfect.

| Fertilization | It is not recommended to fertilize trees at the time of planting or young trees. Excessive fertilizing may cause premature fruit drop. Apply a balanced slow release fertilizer after the tree is established and begins to break dormancy in spring. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
