Saucer Magnolia
Magnolia × soulangeana, or saucer magnolia, is an iconic spring ornamental tree, prized for its spectacular bloom of giant tulip-shaped flowers, ranging from rosy white to purple, which open before the leaves in early spring. Its rounded and spreading habit, combined with moderate growth, makes it a perfect choice as a specimen tree, in an entrance garden, or in a bed near living areas, where its early bloom is highlighted. Hardy and relatively robust for Quebec, it prefers rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soils, and a location sheltered from wind and sunny to semi-shady. With its intense visual impact, majestic shape, and refined floral palette, it brings charm, nobility, and elegance to residential gardens from the first warm days of spring.
