Very fast delivery but the bush was deposited upside down due to lack of information on the package, resulting in a clean break of the neck by 15 cm (6in)...! I planted the young plant on the same day and it seemed to be in good shape. I couldn't reach an advisor until 4 days later, but they reassured me about its recovery (to be seen in a few months?) P.S. I don't understand the 5 stars of the previous comment which is completely negative???

Description
The Magnolia grandiflora 'Ferruginea' is a variety of Magnolia with large flowers and moderate growth, distinguished by its bottle green foliage that is particularly glossy on the top, with a velvety rusty underside. Like the classic Tulip Tree, this beautiful evergreen tree is also appreciated for its long summer flowering, resembling large white-cream tulips, but with a delightful lemon scent. This variety seems to tolerate the presence of limestone in the soil, making it suitable for planting in many regions. It is also worth noting that its slow growth allows for cultivation in a large container for many years.
Native to the Southeastern United States, the Magnolia grandiflora thrives in light, heat, humidity, and rich, deep soils. Its range extends from Texas to Virginia, including northern and central Florida. 'Ferruginea' is a very hardy cultivar selected for its unique foliage. At maturity, this small tree will reach approximately 8m (26ft) in height and 4m (13ft) in spread. Its growth is fairly slow, although it quickly forms a trunk from which branches emerge to form a naturally widened conical-shaped tree. Flowering occurs on plants that are already 10 to 15 years old, mainly in summer from June to August-September (in the southeastern USA, flowering begins in late April and ends in July). The large solitary flowers, 15 to 25cm (6 to 10in) in diameter, are composed of thick, white-cream petals arranged around a cone covered in yellow stamens. Each flower only lasts for one day on the tree, but they continuously renew. This flowering is followed by the formation of large reddish cones, which are quite decorative and reveal red seeds. The evergreen leaves are alternate, simple, entire, leathery, and 15-20cm (1 and 6in) long. They are a dark olive green and glossy on the top, with reddish hairs on the underside, especially on young trees.
The Magnolia grandiflora 'Ferruginea' is mainly used as a standalone tree in medium to large gardens, but can also be used in a free hedge. Choose a strategic location in the garden to admire this tree, perhaps the most beautiful of all evergreens, and enjoy its lemon-scented flowering. It could be paired, for example, with another large, deciduous magnolia with spring flowering, such as the Magnolia soulangeana. Note that the Magnolia is sensitive to sea spray but can tolerate the polluted atmosphere of urban areas.

Planting and care
The Magnolia grandiflora 'Ferruginea' is planted in spring or autumn in deep, rich, moist soil, even in summer, in a good forest soil (pH6). Pure ericaceous compost is not recommended, as it is too nutrient poor, especially since this variety seems to tolerate the presence of limestone in the soil if it is healthy and well-drained. It prefers a sunny and open exposure, sheltered from prevailing winds. Be careful not to break the fleshy roots and not to bury the root ball too deeply. Mulch and water in summer. Beware of heavy frosts and hot, dry summers. Maintain good humidity by showering its foliage with a fine spray only in the evening. Pruning is unnecessary.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
