Magnolia – Baby Grand

If you’re looking for the timeless beauty of a classic creamy white magnolia on a compact, evergreen plant, Baby Grand™ Magnolia is an outstanding choice. Combining elegant, fragrant blooms with glossy year-round foliage, it brings together the best qualities of traditional magnolias and evergreen garden performance.

Each spring, velvety golden-brown buds unfurl to reveal masses of creamy white, sweetly scented flowers that create a spectacular display. Long after flowering has finished, the lush evergreen foliage continues to provide structure, colour and year-round appeal.

Naturally dense and bushy, Baby Grand Magnolia is particularly well suited to hedging and screening, where its attractive foliage creates privacy without sacrificing beauty. It is equally impressive as a feature plant or in large containers, bringing fragrance and evergreen elegance to gardens of every size.

Flowering from a young age and maturing more quickly than many traditional magnolias, Baby Grand Magnolia rewards gardeners with beautiful blooms sooner. Easy to grow and exceptionally versatile, it is a magnificent choice for anyone wanting the classic beauty of a magnolia in a compact, evergreen form.

FLOWERS & FOLIAGE

Through spring, this gorgeous tree covers itself in lightly fragrant creamy white flowers. The foliage is dense, dark, glossy and evergreen, so that the overall appearance is lush and bushy.

PLANTING TIPS

Magnolia Baby Grand is happy to grow in full sun through to part shade, and in terms of soil, can cope with a range of soil types though it’s happiest in well worked friable soils as it doesn’t thrive in heavy, waterlogged settings.

WAYS TO USE THEM

This is a lovely specimen tree, ideal where a seasonal show stopping moment is wanted on a plant that keeps its leaves year round. And because it’s evergreen, it makes a great hedge where a visual or practical barrier is needed. Magnolia Baby Grand will also perform well in oversized containers.

SHAPE & SIZE

When choosing a position for Magnolia Baby Grand know that 12 years after planting it will have grown into a 3m small tree with a spread of 2m. You can trim to shape after flowering: to form a tree’s single leader; or as a bush; a hedge; topiary; or espalier. For a thick hedge, space plants 1.5m apart.

FOOD & WATER

Magnolia Baby Grand performs best with moderate irrigation over summer, but handles drier conditions once established if given occasional deep watering. If growing in the garden, feed annually after flowering, and in containers, in spring and autumn.

PESTS & DISEASE

One of the reasons this is such a brilliant plant is that it isn’t susceptible to diseases, and isn’t bothered with major pest issues.
