The Magnolia Susan is an upright, deciduous shrub, that has stunning, fragrant, dark red/purple buds, made of narrow petals, that open like cups in the middle of Spring?
Deciduous Magnolia Susan is a bushy shrub that has big, green leaves, and from the middle of Spring/Summer, gorgeous, fragrant flowers. You will sometimes even be treated with cone-like fruits.
This is a stunning shrub if you are looking for something to fill that space in a small garden and can reach an ultimate height and spread of 4m x 3m.
We recommend planting Magnolia Susan in a sheltered, sunny, or partially shaded position, and in clay, loam, or sand-based soils- It should be moist and well-drained, too. It is also recommended to have this plant South, West, or East facing.
Magnolia Susan 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.
When should I plant Magnolia Susan?
It is best to plant deciduous Magnolias when they are dormant, throughout late autumn or winter (providing it is not freezing), or in spring during the cooler climates. This ensures the plants have a good chance of settling down before summer.
How far apart should I plant Magnolia Susan plants?
If you purchase medium sized Magnolia plants (around 60-90cm), we recommend planting no more than 2 per metre (50cm spacing). For plants taller than 1m, a space of 100cm between each plant is best.
As Magnolia is very wide spreading, the correct spacing is key when it comes to planting, as they need plenty of room to grow to be able to grow to their full potential?
How to plant Magnolia Susan:
As Magnolia has quite shallow roots, you will not need to dig a very deep hole.
Begin by digging a hole that is a little wider than the root ball, but the same depth as the pot the plant came in (usually around 20-30cm). Then add some fresh topsoil, well-rotted compost, or leaf mould into the excess soil. Set aside.
Place the plants carefully into the hole, ensuring they're straight, and check the level they are sitting at in the ground - the base of the stem should be at or just above ground level. Backfill with soil, patting gently as you go along, to knock out any air. Follow this with watering in well.
We then recommend adding around 2-3" of mulch at the base of the plant, too. Anything like garden compost, grass cuttings, bark, or wood chippings works well?
Ensure you continually water the plant throughout the first 1-2 years after being planted (we recommend around 2-3 times per week, and more so during warmer weather). This is a very important step as the roots need plenty of water and nutrients to be able to establish and develop successfully?

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
