Description

The Saucer Magnolia is the classic herald of spring, renowned for its large, goblet-shaped blooms that appear on bare branches. Its flowers are a soft blend of pink on the outside and white within, creating a delicate, romantic display. This small, multi-stemmed tree is a beloved focal point for welcoming the new season in Bay Area gardens.

• Produces large, iconic cup-shaped flowers in shades of soft pink and white on bare branches in late winter to early spring.

• Forms a broad, spreading, multi-stemmed small tree or large shrub with a rounded canopy.

• Blooms at a young age, providing a spectacular seasonal show even in newer landscapes.

• Prefers a sheltered location with morning sun and afternoon shade in hotter inland areas to protect the early blooms from frost and sun scald.

• Its early bloom time makes the flowers occasionally vulnerable to late frosts in colder Bay Area microclimates.
