Saucer Magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana) is a beautiful deciduous flowering tree admired for its spectacular early spring blossoms and graceful, rounded crown. Before the leaves emerge, bare branches become covered with large, tulip-shaped flowers in soft pink with creamy white interiors and a delicate fragrance. Broad, medium-green leaves provide lush summer shade before turning yellow in fall. Ornamental cone-like fruits may follow the flowers, attracting birds. With its elegant branching structure and impressive seasonal display, this classic magnolia makes an outstanding specimen tree for lawns, front yards, and flowering landscapes.
