Perfect for small gardens, Magnolia 'Genie' is a compact, small, deciduous tree with incredibly eye-catching scented blossoms in mid spring. Opening from black-red buds, the rich maroon-purple, tulip-shaped flowers are opulent, large, 6 in. across (15 cm), and count up to 6-12 tepals with nicely reflexed tips paling to light magenta rose. While this Magnolia flowers primarily in spring, it may continue to bloom sporadically thereafter for months where moisture is adequate. The hybrid Magnolia blooms at an early age and makes an elegant, small speciman tree. A full sun to part shade lover.
