Magnolia 'Susan': A Spectacular Addition to Your Landscape

Introduction: Welcome to our garden center, where we are delighted to present Magnolia 'Susan', a stunning flowering tree renowned for its exquisite blooms and elegant form. 'Susan', also known as Magnolia liliiflora 'Susan', is a compact and deciduous magnolia cultivar that adds beauty and charm to any garden landscape. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the unique characteristics, care requirements, and benefits of incorporating Magnolia 'Susan' into your outdoor space.

Unveiling the Beauty of Magnolia 'Susan':

• Description: Magnolia 'Susan' is prized for its abundant, goblet-shaped flowers that emerge in early spring before the foliage. The fragrant blooms feature deep purplish-red petals with a hint of pink, creating a striking contrast against the dark green foliage. 'Susan' typically blooms at a young age, adding a splash of color to the landscape when other plants are still dormant.
• Height: Typically grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet at maturity.
• Spread: Exhibits a rounded, spreading habit, with a spread of 8 to 12 feet, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, urban landscapes, and mixed borders.

Maintenance and Care:

• Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full to partial sun for optimal growth and flowering. Plant Magnolia 'Susan' in autumn or early spring, ensuring proper spacing to accommodate its mature size.
• Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry periods, to establish the tree. Once established, 'Susan' is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from supplemental watering during prolonged dry spells.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep the mulch several inches away from the trunk to prevent rot and pest infestations.
• Pruning: Prune Magnolia 'Susan' lightly after flowering to maintain its desired shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering the following year.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer formulated for flowering trees in early spring to promote healthy growth and prolific flowering. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for application rates and frequency.

Benefits of Growing Magnolia 'Susan':

• Early Bloomer: Enjoy the beauty of Magnolia 'Susan's' flowers in early spring, brightening up the garden landscape after the winter months.
• Fragrance: Delight in the sweet, citrusy fragrance emitted by 'Susan's' flowers, attracting bees and pollinators to the garden.
• Compact Size: With its moderate height and spreading habit, 'Susan' is suitable for small gardens, urban landscapes, and container planting.
