Bring vibrant beauty to your garden with Magnolia 'Genie', a compact and versatile variety perfect even for smaller garden spaces. Its manageable size makes it an ideal focal point for cottage-style borders, mixed planting schemes, or even as a stunning statement in a large patio tub.

From April, 'Genie' bursts into life with an impressive display of rich maroon, tulip-shaped flowers that emerge from dark purple-red buds. These lightly scented blooms cover the bare branches in a dazzling spring spectacle. Unlike many other varieties, 'Genie' is exceptionally floriferous, holding its intense colour for longer and, in ideal conditions, delighting you with repeat flowering over several months.

This hardy, deciduous magnolia grows into an upright, compact shrub, so is a standout feature without overwhelming your garden space. Easy to grow, 'Genie' thrives in moist, well-drained soil with plenty of sunshine or partial shade, adding year-round elegance and seasonal drama to your outdoor space.

Supplied as an established plant in a 2 litre pot, ready to plant.

Care Information

Planting Advice for Magnolia 'Genie':

  • Grow in well-drained soil in full sun, provide shelter from cold winds which can damage the buds.
  • Water your potted plant well.
  • Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
  • Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure alonf with some ericaceous compost to the earth removed from the hole.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot.
  • Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.
  • Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.

Aftercare Advice for your Magnolia 'Genie':

  • Water 'Genie' well and regularly for the first few months until established.
  • Do not allow plants to dry out in the first season after planting. Once established, they will become much more tolerant to a lack of water, as the root system develops.
  • Once planted, keep the area free of competing weeds.
  • Apply a general-purpose fertiliser and a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant after planting and thereafter annually.

Pruning Advice for Magnolia 'Genie':

  • There is no real need to prune, simply remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in midsummer when the tree is in full leaf.
