Magnolias are among the most beautiful plants of all. Their pink or white blooms are an asset to any garden and will be wondrous to gaze at from your Lifestyle garden furniture. This blog will tell you everything you need to know about growing them yourself.
Picking the right ones
There are three factors to think about before selecting magnolias: the colour, the flowering time and the type of soil. The majority of magnolias flower in either pink or white, although the shade of pink can vary. You can get anything from pale blush to deep magenta.
The flowering time for magnolias ranges from early in spring to the end of summer. Picking a late flowering type will work better if you live in a colder region. The soil needs to be neutral or mildly acidic. If your garden has chalky soil, try planting them in pots instead.
Planting
The best spot for planting magnolias will be one where they can catch the sun, but with some protective shelter too. You will need to add fertiliser to the soil and keep it well drained. The ideal time period for planting is from late spring to early autumn. The main point is that the soil must not be hard and frozen.
Maintenance
Magnolias are low maintenance plants, once they are in the ground. If you make sure to put them in a good spot, you will not have to do much to look after them.
If you follow these tips, you can plant your own magnolias, which will bring colour and life to your garden – making it a joy to look at!
