TypeTREE
Botanical nameMagnolia × Susan

Magnolia × 'Susan' is a compact hybrid magnolia renowned for its abundant spring bloom, featuring narrow, reddish-purple to dark pink, slightly fragrant tulip-shaped flowers that appear late in the season, thus reducing the risk of frost damage. Its bushy, upright, then rounded habit makes it an excellent option for small gardens, flowerbeds, or landscaping near homes, where its contained size is an asset. It thrives in fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soil, with a sunny or partial shade exposure, protected from drying winds. Very hardy for a magnolia with colorful blooms, 'Susan' combines floral aesthetics, ease of maintenance, and adaptability, making it a wise choice for residential Quebec gardens seeking a vibrant and structured spring bloom.
