Magnolia Serene is a stunning deciduous small tree renowned for its graceful, tulip-shaped blooms and elegant form. In early to mid-Spring, it produces abundant, soft pink flowers that open from slender buds, revealing a delicate blush hue that deepens towards the base of each petal. These fragrant blooms create a breathtaking display before the tree’s fresh green foliage emerges, adding a touch of serenity to any garden.

This compact and slow-growing magnolia typically reaches around 4-8 metres in height, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or courtyard spaces. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance, with only occasional pruning to maintain its natural shape.

Ideal as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or as a focal point, Magnolia Serene brings year-round beauty, from its elegant Winter silhouette to its lush Summer foliage. Perfect for UK gardens, it adds a sense of calm and timeless charm to any outdoor space.

How to care for your Magnolia Serene

  • Watering: Prefers moist soil but can’t tolerate standing water. Water the tree regularly during the growing season, particularly in dry weather. Avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.
  • Soil: This tree can grow in a wide range of soils, but it prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Amend heavy soils with organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, to improve drainage.
  • Fertilisation: Benefits from periodic fertilisation. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early Spring, just before the tree begins to bloom, and then again in early Summer. Avoid over-fertilising, which can cause excess growth and weaken the tree.
  • Pruning: Rarely requires pruning, but you can shape it or remove dead or damaged branches as needed. Prune after the tree has finished flowering to avoid cutting off next year’s blooms.
  • Mulching: Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or shredded bark, being careful not to pile it up against the trunk.

By following these care tips, you can help your Magnolia Serene grow and thrive, and enjoy its stunning blooms and delightful fragrance for years to come.
