Magnolia liliiflora (Magnolia)
Color Name: Jane
First introduced as one of the famous 'Eight Little Girls Hybrids', 'Jane' has made her way into our hearts, and we can't stop loving her charismatic, playful ways. Fast growing branching that is upright when young but spreads as the plant ages features unequalled tulip like, deliciously fragrant flowers in late April before leaves appear. Rich purple exteriors frame bright white centers on this bloom not only in spring, but all summer long and even into the fall as 'Jane' will surprise you with her charming ways and spontaneous small bursts of blooms even in the off season! Plant 'Jane' in a sunny location with some afternoon shade for the best results and you will revel in what an incredible specimen this low branched, spreading tree can be.
Growing Tips: Thrives in full sun to partial shade (aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best flower density).
Soil Type: Prefers organically rich, well-draining, neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5 to 6.5). It tolerates light clay but struggles in waterlogged, stagnant ground.
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist (not soggy) for the first year or two by watering deeply 1 to 3 times a week. Once established, it develops good drought tolerance
Pruning: Prune as little as possible. If shaping is needed, do it lightly immediately after the spring flowering period ends by removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Avoid heavy or hard pruning, which ruins the natural shape.
