Magnolia Soulangeana


 It is spring again  and the Magnolias are in bloom.  I am glad that  both the Soulangeana and Stellata   are hardy enough to live and do well  in our part of the world..I look forward to their blooms each spring....The picture above shows Soulangeana with Stellata in the background....Both pictures to the left are Soulangeana  up closer....Both Magnolias should be planted with plenty of room around them so they can grow and spread at will. The blooms on both come out  before the leaves do ...Then towards fall the big seedpods on Soulangeana  come on..with  bright red  seeds...Try planting some when your plant is big enough to produce seeds....  Stellata is also called  Star Magnolia...
