Characteristics: Deciduous shrub, RHS award winner, showy dark pink flowers, mid spring interest, average watering, low maintenance, hardy, slightly fragrant, minimal pruning, upright
Plant advice: Plant when dormant, in late fall/winter in warmer climates or early spring in cold climates. Best grown in consistently moist, well-drained soil – will not perform well in poorly drained, wet soils. Slightly acidic soil works best, but will be tolerant of neutral and slightly alkaline soil, as well. Adapts to loam, sand, clay.
It typically blooms late enough to escape the frost damage of early spring, however it is best to supply your Magnolia Galaxy with shelter in order to protect it from cold, dry winds that can harm the delicate buds in the colder months. Water regularly during warm or dry weather for the first 6-12 months after planting.
A cross between Magnolia liliiflora and Magnolia sprengeri ‘Diva’, the Galaxy Magnolia variant will bring a long lasting, eye-catching display to your garden. Its gorgeous dark pink flowers will become abundant and attract bees in mid spring as they emerge from scarlet purple buds, under a canopy of dark green, oval leaves.
This variety holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, as well as a Gold Medal from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society – both of these awards recognise resilience, ease of care, reliability, value to wildlife and attractiveness of the plant. Fantastic choice for a traditional garden or a city garden.
