Magnolia Grandiflora Exmouth, also known as the ‘Evergreen Magnolia’ is a stunning evergreen tree or shrub known for its large, fragrant blooms and lush foliage. Native to the southeastern United States, this magnificent tree has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was first introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant.

Its distinctive appearance and sweet aroma have made it a popular choice for gardens and landscaping. With a mature height of up to 12 metres, the Magnolia Grandiflora Exmouth is an impressive sight, especially when in full bloom with its massive, white flowers that can reach up to 25cm in diameter.

The tree is also valued for its tough, leathery leaves that remain green all year round and provide a lush canopy of shade. In addition to its ornamental value, the Magnolia Grandiflora Exmouth is also a food source for wildlife, particularly for bees, butterflies, and birds.

How to care for your Magnolia Exmouth

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade and will do best in an area with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. If your soil is heavy or poorly draining, amend it with compost or other organic matter.
  • Watering: It is drought-tolerant and does not require regular watering once established. However, it should be watered regularly during extended periods of drought to help prevent stress.
  • Fertilising: Fertilise once a year in early Spring with a slow-release, balanced fertiliser. Over fertilisation can lead to leggy growth and reduced flower production.
  • Pruning: Pruning is not typically necessary, but you can remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to promote healthy growth. Avoid pruning the tree during its flowering period, as this can remove developing flower buds.

By following these simple care tips, you can enjoy the beauty and fragrance of your Magnolia Grandiflora Exmouth for many years to come.
