We have a great selection of magnolia trees. These trees keep their leaves over the winter and do very well when planted in the cooler conditions of fall. Please read about the variety and the differences between our magnolias below.
The Stellar Ruby Magnolia: with its pink to ruby-colored, banana-scented blooms that pop up in late spring and continue through summer and early fall. It’s naturally dense and full, so you won’t need to worry about much pruning, either. Height can reach 10′-15′ and width 6’-8′.
Bracken’s Brown Beauty Magnolia: Its leaves are dark green on top with a warm, cinnamon-brown underside, giving it a beautiful, two-tone look. The big white flowers are super fragrant, adding an nice touch to any garden. This magnolia is tougher than most, making it a great choice if you’re looking for something that handles cold and heat better and doesn’t drop as many leaves. Plus, it’s evergreen, so you’ll enjoy its beauty year-round! Height can reach 35-50′ and Width 15-30′.
Little Gem Magnolia: a dwarf southern magnolia, is perfect for small spaces, with its compact, narrow shape and smaller dark green leaves. The glossy evergreen foliage has a unique rusty-brown underside that adds extra charm. It also produces big, white, fragrant flowers that really stand out. Whether you want a small tree or a large shrub, Little Gem is a great choice. Height can reach 15-20′ and Width 8-10′.
The D.D. Blanchard Magnolia: One of our biggest magnolia varieties. It has large, dark green leaves with a distinctive rusty-brown underside. This tree can grow up to 40-50 feet tall, with a canopy that spreads 35 feet wide, making it a fantastic option for shade. It typically has a straight, central trunk, so you can let it grow full to the ground or prune it into a more traditional tree shape with an exposed trunk.
In late spring, the D.D. Blanchard starts blooming, and while the flowers aren’t overly abundant, they continue to appear throughout the summer. The blossoms are large, fragrant, and cup-shaped, measuring up to 8 inches across.
Betty Magnolia Tulip Tree: Unlike the evergreen varieties mentioned, the Betty Magnolia Tulip Tree offers unique seasonal changes. This variety of Magnolia sheds its leaves in the winter, but come early spring, it bursts into stunning pink to purple tulip-shaped blooms before the leaves even begin to grow back. The flowers create a striking display, making this tree a standout in any landscape. With a mature height of 12-15 feet and a spread of 10-12 feet, it’s a great choice for color and structure.
Teddy Bear Magnolia: Known for its compact size, it is an excellent choice for smaller spaces. It matures to a height of 15-20 feet with a spread of 8-10 feet, making it suitable for smaller yards, patios, or urban gardens. Its upright, pyramidal growth habit allows it to fit neatly into tighter spaces compared to larger magnolia varieties. The tree features glossy, dark green leaves with reddish-brown undersides, it blooms with large, fragrant, white flowers through summer into early fall. Its evergreen nature ensures that it provides year-round greenery and structure to your landscape. Teddy Bear Magnolia is a good choice for those wanting the charm of a magnolia tree without the extensive space requirements.
Jane Magnolia: Beautiful, deciduous flowering tree that offers a stunning display of deep pink to purple, tulip-shaped blooms in early spring. Known for its hardiness and adaptability, it typically grows to a mature height of 10-15 feet with a spread of 8-12 feet, making it an excellent option for smaller gardens or as a focal point in a landscape. Its moderate size and multi-stemmed habit allow it to be used both as a small tree or a large shrub. One of the late-blooming magnolia varieties, the Jane Magnolia is less susceptible to frost damage than other types, which extends the beauty of its flowers in cooler climates. The blossoms are large, often 4-6 inches in diameter, and open before the dark green foliage fully emerges, creating a striking contrast. Jane Magnolia prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained slightly acidic soils. It is relatively low-maintenance and, once established, tolerates moderate drought. Occasional pruning helps maintain its shape, although it generally requires little upkeep. This magnolia also serves as a pollinator magnet, attracting bees and other beneficial insects to your garden
