About Pot Grown Magnolia 'Leonard'

Magnolia x loebneri is a beautiful shrub with flowers that bloom on bare branches. By mid-Spring, the Magnolia bush is covered in blush-pink flowers, made up of narrow petals, that open up like stars. The tree is deciduous, but it is still a lovely, stylish shrub choice if you have a small garden.

The Magnolia ‰ۡÌÝÌáLeonard Messel‰ۡó» can reach an ultimate height and spread of 8m x 6m, within 20-50 years.

Pruning & Care

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

Magnolia ‰ۡÌÝÌáLeonard Messel‰ۡó» requires very little pruning. In the middle of Summer, you will only need to remove the diseased, broken, or crossing branches. We also recommend adding a bit of mulch in Spring, especially if it has dry soil.
