Description
Magnolia Susan is a shrub with a habit that is less spreading than most magnolias but rather upright. Its main attraction is that its flowers appear before the leaves. From April to May, the dark purple flower buds give way to abundant slightly fragrant flowers, which are purple-pink and lighter on the inside.
The 6 petals that make up the flower are slightly curved to give the flower a tulip-shaped form. These are large flowers that measure 10 to 15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in) in diameter. Magnolia Susan has deciduous foliage. Of a tender green colour, the large leaves measure 10 to 15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in) long and are distinctly marked by veins. Magnolia Susan can reach a height of 3 to 4 m (9 ft 10 in to 13 ft).
A very hardy plant, you can plant it alone in your garden as a flowering hedge or in a large bed with evergreen shrubs like Rhododendrons. It is an excellent choice for small gardens. Magnolia can also be cultivated in a pot. This Susan hybrid is the result of cross-breeding between Magnolia liliflora Nigra and Magnolia stellata Rosea.

Planting and care
Magnolia Susan needs a few hours of direct sunlight, so grow it in full sun or partial shade but not in total shade. Keep it protected from cold winds. Plant it in a cool, rich, deep, well-drained and preferably neutral soil or in ericaceous soil. In limestone soil, dig a large planting hole (80 cm (31.5 in) wide by 60 cm (23.6 in) deep) and add ericaceous soil mixed with your garden soil. However, it is less sensitive to limestone than the type species. Mulch the Magnolia to prevent it from freezing during heavy spring frosts, especially young plants. Water it in case of drought. When it grows larger, rainfall will be sufficient for watering. From February to June, before the vegetation appears, remove dead or diseased wood as well as any crossing branches. Prune it gradually to give it its shape, with branches growing from the base of the plant.

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.
