An excellent specimen or landscape tree. Plant Magnolia in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained, slightly acid soil. Pruning requirements are minimalāremove dead or broken branches in late winter or early spring when the plant is dormant. Other pruning can be done as needed after bloom.
In mid-spring, before its leaves appear, āButterfliesā covers itself with glorious, 4-5ā yellow flowers that sit upright on the branches. After 10 years, plants will reach about half their full size.
Hardiness Zone: 5-8S/9W Exposure: Sun to Part Shade Blooms In: May Height: 20-30' Spacing: 15-20' Deer Resistance: Yes
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
