Held on the bare gray branches, the flowers open into wide, Tulip-shaped blooms in early spring. Genie flowers feature up to 12 purple-red tepals that lighten at their reflexed tips!
After the first flush of flowers is faded, Genie develops commanding foliage with a strong mid-rib. Each leaf is glossy green on top, with a pretty silvery underside. The Genie Magnolia looks amazing all season long. Keep your eyes out for recurrent blooms throughout the mid-summer.
Genie is one of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Societies Gold Medal Plant winners for 2024! Cold and heat tolerant throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 9, these are fantastic flowering Magnolias that bring in the pollinators and loads of attention each spring!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Magnolia trees need full sun to bloom their best and grow best in organically rich well-drained soil. Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around their root systems, as long as the mulch isn't up against the trunk. Water regularly during their first year in the ground, but once established should only need extra watering during extended drought. Prune to control the size or remove dead limbs after flowering in the spring.

Tree Form vs. Shrub Form
The details make all the difference in a garden. At Naturehills.com, we understand that little things like what form a plant is can greatly impact how you plan your landscape. So before you buy, don’t forget to check which form you’re getting.
Tree Form:
These are plants that have one stem coming from the ground. Plants can also be considered single stem when lower branches are removed to raise the height of the branching to a more desired height. Sometimes, you will hear a tree form referred to as a single stem.
Shrub Form:
These are bushy plants with many stems and branches close to the ground. They are referred to as shrubs or bushes and are often shorter than their tree forms.
