Description
The Magnolia kobus Isis, known by its cultivar name 'Maráczy', is a Kobe Magnolia, a species of magnolia that tolerates limestone. Isis is characterised by a columnar habit with a semi-open crown, ideal when space is limited, and yellow-green branches, lighter than those of the species. It forms a large, fast-growing bush that bears a multitude of white star-shaped flowers from the end of winter.
The Magnolia kobus belongs to the magnolia family. It is native to Japan and can reach a height of 10m with a pyramidal and ramified habit. The 8 to 10cm diameter corollas are solitary, white, sometimes slightly pink, and bloom on naked wood in March. The stamens are yellow. Afterwards, the bush develops deciduous, alternate, narrow, ovate, often plicate leaves, medium green with a paler underside, slightly aromatic, 15 to 18cm long. Isis 'Maráczy' is a valuable selection, originating from a spontaneous seedling of Magnolia kobus, selected by Prenor nurseries in Hungary. It reaches up to 7m in height at maturity, with a spread of 1.5 to 2m, with a columnar habit and a regular to elongated ovoid crown, with a continuous main branch. While the young branches are yellow-green and lighter than those of M. kobus, the mature bark is identical to that of the species. The young shoots are bronze in colour, becoming darker green in summer. The trees bear flowers from a young age.
The Kobe Magnolia Isis appreciates a fresh, rich, well-drained soil, even limestone, in a sunny or partially shaded position, sheltered from prevailing winds. In summer, it is preferable to maintain soil moisture by applying mulch around the base. The Magnolia kobus Isis looks beautiful as a standalone plant in a small garden, but its columnar shape also allows it to be used at the back of a border surrounded by early-flowering bulbs and various heights of perennials, ensuring a spread of flowering. It can also be associated with twisted dwarf pines, an Acer palmatum, and a few Japanese Azaleas.

Planting and care
The Magnolia kobus Isis should be planted in the spring in rich, moist, or even wet soil in the summer, well-drained in a good forest soil (pH 6), even though it can tolerate limestone. It appreciates a light sun exposure or partial shade, 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 the summer. The year following planting, spread slug repellent at the base, as spring attacks are dangerous for young plants. Beware of heavy frost 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.
