Pink, tulip-shaped flowers
Which plant rings in the springtime? It's the magnolia. Magnolias in a nursery pot begin blooming early in the spring. It lasts for several months. It reveals gorgeous, white and pink flowers. The flowers look like tulips. They strike a beautiful contrast against the green leaves. The leaves fall in autumn. The magnolia grows between 4-6 metres tall. This makes it perfect for a small garden. They can also be planted in a sturdy planter on a patio, roof terrace or balcony. Fun fact: the Magnolia soulangeana is often called a tree, but it is actually a bush.
The magnolia needs a spot in full or half sun. The soil should be moist and rich in humus. It's best to give the tree extra water during dry spells.

Planting
Prior to planting make sure that the root ball of Magnolia (Magnolia x soulangeana) is moist by immersing it in a bucket of warm water. Choose a position where the magnolia has plenty of space to grow and the soil is not too dry. Prepare a large hole, loosen the soil with a fork and place the magnolia root ball at the correct depth in the hole - the top of the root ball should be just slightly below soil surface. Fill the hole with soil, heel well in and water immediately after planting.
Magnolia (Magnolia x soulangeana) thrives in any soil that retains water well. Improve poor soil with well-rotted compost. Do not add compost as that could cause root burn. Preferably site the magnolia in a spot in full sun, although partial shade is also good. Put a stake next to the young tree to give support against a strong wind.

Extra
This tree comes originally from North America as well as Asia.
The magnolia is a slow grower but can grow into quite a large tree. Because of the slow growth it is suitable for small gardens - especially as the beautiful flowers appear while the tree is still young.
Magnolia x soulangeana is a hybrid of Magnolia denudate and M. liliiflora – created in 1820. Magnolias are cultivated and hybridised all over the world nowadays and are often planted in city parks.
Often called the tulip tree, it should not be confused with the actual tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera).
The magnolia is classified as Magnoliaceae.
