Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Thoroughly deserving of its RHS AGM, this deciduous Magnolia boasts scented pink blooms from April to May. Unlike some varieties, Magnolia ‘Daybreak’ will flower from an early age, making this a treasured shrub in spring gardens. This well branched variety has a neat, columnar habit that is better suited to the average garden than some of its broader cousins. With maturity it becomes a lovely, deciduous specimen tree for the centre of a lawn. Height: 10m (33’). Spread: 3m (10’).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Plant magnolias in a sunny or semi shaded position with protection from cold winds and hard spring frosts. Magnolias prefer a rich, moist, well drained, acid to neutral soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to improve the soil prior to planting, mixing it thoroughly and deeply. Magnolia plants establish quicker when their roots are shaded. Following planting, apply a mulch of rotted bark chips, manure or garden compost, taking care not to mound it around the stem of the plant.

Water regularly throughout the growing season until young magnolias are fully established. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted bark chips or garden compost to the base of the plant. Magnolias require little pruning other than to maintain their shape and remove damaged stems or crossing stems.
