Magnolia ‘Genie’

This stunning new plant is a real breakthrough in magnolia breeding, retaining a compact habit with stable flower colour, unlike others of its type. Buds of blackish-red open to produce magnificent scented, deep maroon, tulip-shaped flowers. Flowering lasts for several weeks in spring, often followed by a second flowering in mid- summer. Magnolia ‘Genie’ is a hardy, deciduous shrub, although windy sites and frost pockets are best avoided. Height: 4m (13′). Spread: 1.5m (5′).

Culinary note: The young flowers, once separated, can be pickled and then used either on their own as a treat or in salads. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
