The Jane Magnolia tree, Magnolia x Jane, displays impressive reddish purple flowers outside, with a white inside that opens late in the spring to avoid frost damage.  These flowers, appearing just before the foliage, are a gorgeous tulip-shape with a lightly scented fragrance.  This tree needs to be planted so that it has full morning sun and partially shaded afternoons.  Although it does prefer rich, moist, and well-drained soils, it can grow in any soil no matter if its acidic, loamy, moist, rich, or sandy.  It grows well in zones 3-7.

Magnolia Jane makes an excellent choice for any accent, specimen, or border use since it is a strong, vigorous, and an upright grower.  This ornamental tree is distinguished by its beautifully shaped, extremely fragrant large flowers that open in early May.

This Magnolia needs regular watering until established, especially during dry spells.  For optimum performance, fertilize in early spring with an acid-type fertilizer.  Pruning it after the flowering is complete will help it maintain a desired shape and height.
