Overview
A superb magnolia with a stunning display of scented double star-shaped flowers in white to pale pink, abundantly produced even from an early age in March or April. Young leaves are green and bronze turning green with age. Compact in habit, making it suitable for smaller gardens, eventually becoming a tall shrub or small tree.
Magnolia x loebneri is a cross between Magnolia stellata and Magnolia kobus, inheriting the fine attributes of both parents, and is tolerant of more alkaline soils as long as plenty of organic matter is added to the planting site.
Planting:Â Choose a spot which is away from a frost pocket and is sheltered from northerly and easterly winds. Make sure that your chosen site is large enough, as magnolias need room to develop. Any reasonable acid to neutral garden soil will be suitable as long as it’s not too dry; bear in mind that most varieties dislike shallow chalky soils. Add plenty of peat or soil improver to the soil and avoid planting too deeply.
Pruning:Â Not necessary, but remove any dead wood or unwanted branches after flowering.
