Description
The Magnolia kobus, or Kobe Magnolia, is a large bush with fast growth that offers a myriad of white cup-shaped flowers from the end of winter. It is one of the few species that tolerates limestone!
Reaching a height of 10m (32 ft 10 in), the Magnolia kobus has a pyramidal and ramified habit. The 8 to 10cm (3.1 to 3.9 in) in diameter corollas, solitary and cup-shaped, are white, sometimes slightly pink, and bloom on naked wood in March. The stamens are yellow. Afterwards, it develops deciduous, alternate, narrow, ovate, often plicate leaves, medium green with a paler underside, slightly aromatic, measuring 15 to 18cm (5.9 to 7.1 in) in length.
Originally from Japan, the Kobe Magnolia appreciates a fresh, rich, well-drained soil, even limestone, in a sunny or partially shaded position, and sheltered from prevailing winds. In summer, keep the soil moist by applying mulch.
The Magnolia kobus looks very beautiful in the middle of a flowerbed surrounded by early-flowering bulbs and perennials of varying heights, ensuring that the flowerings are well spread out.

Planting and care
The Magnolia kobus is best planted during spring in rich and moist soil. It can even tolerate wet soil, but ensure it is well-drained and has a pH of 6. It is recommended to plant it in good forest soil. The Magnolia kobus prefers light sun exposure or partial shade. Make sure it is sheltered from prevailing winds. While planting, be careful not to break the fleshy roots and ensure that the root ball is not buried too deeply. During summers, mulch and water it regularly. In the year following planting, spread anti-slug pellets around the base, as young plants are vulnerable to spring attacks. Beware of heavy frosts and hot, dry summers. Ensure to maintain good humidity by showering its foliage with a fine spray only in the evening. Pruning is not required.

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.
