Magnolia 'Butterflies' 7 Gallon

Magnolia hybrid

Magnolia is a popular family of spring-flowering plants grown as tall shrubs or medium sized trees. They display showy, fragrant flowers and deciduous, glossy foliage, and they're outstanding in the landscape as a decorative accent or specimen plant tolerating clay soil. 'Butterflies' is a hybrid between Magnolia acuminata (seed parent) and Magnolia denudata (pollen parent). It is known for its non-fading yellow flowers with a light lemon fragrance. It is also resistant to both heat and cold. Plant in well-drained to moist, acidic, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1 inch of water once a week the first year. Prune in spring immediately after flowering to control size, and remove stray shoots or damaged limbs anytime. Feed early spring and mid-summer with a slow release fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2 inches to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
