Description

Genie Magnolia is a compact powerhouse of color, offering stunning, fragrant, deep ruby-red flowers on a perfectly scaled small tree. Its prolific bloom, manageable size, and striking hue make it one of the best modern magnolias for urban gardens, large containers, or as a vibrant focal point in a mixed border.

Produces an abundance of richly colored, fragrant, deep ruby-red to purple goblet-shaped flowers.
Naturally grows as a compact, small tree or large shrub, rarely exceeding 13 feet tall, perfect for today’s smaller gardens.
Often re-blooms sporadically in summer, offering an unexpected second show of color.
An excellent choice for container gardening on patios or balconies where its spectacular bloom can be enjoyed up close.
