Magnolia ‘Sunsation’ is a captivating hybrid cultivar that effortlessly blends elegance with tranquility in any garden setting. This deciduous tree boasts a graceful, upright form with a moderate growth rate, reaching a height of about 8 metres at maturity, making it an ideal choice for smaller landscapes or as a focal point in larger gardens.

One of the most striking features of this Magnolia is its lavish display of blossoms. Large, cup-shaped flowers emerge in early Spring before the emergence of its foliage, painting the branches with a profusion of rich yellow petals. These exquisite blooms exude a delicate fragrance that fills the air, attracting pollinators and delighting the senses.

The foliage emerges after the flowering season, unfurling in a lush display of deep green, oval-shaped leaves. Throughout the growing season, these leaves provide a verdant backdrop to the garden, creating a serene ambiance.

This variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and prefers a location with full sun to partial shade, although it can tolerate a range of light conditions. With its moderate maintenance requirements and remarkable ornamental qualities, it is sure to captivate gardeners and admirers alike, infusing any outdoor space with timeless beauty and tranquility.

How to care for your Magnolia Sunsation

  • Planting: Choose a site that receives full sun to partial shade and has well-draining soil.
  • Watering: The tree should be watered regularly during its first year of growth to help establish its root system. Afterward, the tree can be watered deeply and infrequently, as it prefers slightly moist soil. Avoid overwatering or letting the soil become waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Fertilising: Does not require frequent fertilisation. However, it can benefit from a slow-release fertiliser once a year, applied in early Spring before the tree begins to leaf out.
  • Pruning: Prune the tree in late Winter or early Spring before new growth appears. Remove any damaged, diseased, or crossing branches, as well as any weak or spindly growth. This will help promote healthy growth and improve the tree’s overall appearance.
  • Mulching: Adding a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree can help retain moisture in the soil and suppress weed growth. Avoid piling the mulch up against the tree trunk, as this can lead to rot.

By following these care tips, you can help your Magnolia Sunsation tree grow healthy and beautiful for many years to come.
