Plant of the Week: Saucer Magnolia

The Saucer Magnolia is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming flowers in various shades of white, pink, and purple. It is one of the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture. This small, low-branched tree reaches a height of 20'-25', and get's its name from the fragrant, saucer-shaped flowers. Magnolias should be planted in full sun and make for fine specimen plants, meaning they should be planted alone, rather than in masses with other plants for an ornamental effect.
