This deciduous hybrid offers candy-scented, goblet-shaped blooms up to 10 inches across in vivid reddish-purple. It forms a pyramidal outline and grows up to 40 feet tall.
Grow in moist, well-drained, preferably acidic to neutral soil in sun or partial shade; magnolias do not tolerate wet feet. Flower buds are susceptible to late frosts; shelter large-leaved species from wind. Prune in late winter or late summer to prevent sap bleeding; prune minimally.
Sow seeds in autumn or stratify. Root softwood cuttings in early summer. Can be layered in early spring, grafted in winter, or propagated by bud in summer.
Bacterial leaf spot, spot anthracnose, canker, dieback, butt rot, powdery mildew, anthracnose, fungal spots, weevils, snails, scale insects, thrips, planthoppers.
