About this Class

Magnolias are deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs that can most accurately be described as magnificent flowering plants. Their blooms are creamy and thick and their foliage varies from shiny and waxy to soft, green, enormous, and shaped like saucers. This beautiful tree will grow in partial shade so it is ideal to plant beneath large deciduous trees. Easily grown in most soils, it will brighten your spring with its cup-shaped blossoms on graceful bare branches, before becoming a charming leafy tree for the summer.
