Saucer Magnolia - Magnolia x soulangeana Magnolia Family (Magnoliaceae)
Magnolia × soulangeana, commonly known as saucer magnolia, is a deciduous hybrid magnolia (M. denudata × M. liliiflora). It is the most commonly grown deciduous magnolia.1
Fragrant flowers (to 8” across) bloom in early spring.1
Flowers are pink with white interiors. Sparse numbers of additional flowers may bloom sporadically later in spring on new growth, but the later flowers are usually less vigorous and less colorful than those of the primary bloom.1
