No matter how large or small your landscape, you can enjoy rich, dark red-burgundy Magnolia flowers. Black Tulip™ Magnolia Tree (Magnolia x soulangiana 'Jurmag1') stays narrow and compact.
It's perfect for a courtyard. It easily fits in a bungalow backlot or any small space planting. Black Tulip™ looks good all year long, with smooth, attractive bark and shapely branches you can admire from your window.
Watch for the prominent flower buds to slowly unfurl in early springtime. Invite your friends over often to help track their showy display in your yard.
This compact Magnolia features full-sized flowers, opening to reveal a full, dramatic goblet that is six inches wide. Thickly substantial petals are color-drenched and last a long time in cool weather.
Those good Magnolia springs are priceless. Enjoy the decadent dark flowers with parties and pictures to capture this year's showy display.
Cut some of the branches for magnificent indoor displays, taking the time to do any needed pruning to shape the slender branches at the same time.
Don't be surprised to see sporadic blooms throughout the season, either! Keep your eyes open, your garden snips sharp, and a prepped vase nearby.
Why not plant a hedge of these marvelous trees, so you'll have armloads of boughs to decorate your interiors? Let the branches grow low-down on the trunk for a wonderfully useful flowering privacy screen.
They never get rangy and will work hard to solve some of your toughest landscape challenges. Large leaves are held densely along the low branches, and will easily block that unsightly view you just hate!
Use Black Tulip™ around your pool deck to shield prying eyes. Run them along the length of your side yard to raise the height of your hardscape fence in a very friendly way. Magnolias are one of our most charming native plants. Their elegant branch structure decorates your yard with easy grace.
This narrow, upright-growing tree is one of the hottest varieties. If you see Black Tulip™ Magnolia trees in stock, please place your order right away. We'll sell our entire crop quickly.
How to Use Black Tulip™ Magnolia in the Landscape
These are versatile small trees but can be used as large shrubs if you like. Gain a main garden feature by simply placing a long outdoor bench in front of a planting of several Black Tulip™ Magnolia. Use a single tree as a special focal point away from your house. Treat yourself to a hanging hammock chair and stand, and order an outdoor table for your iced tea. Personalize the spot to make it your own precious getaway spot.
Use several of them, or create a special collection of the 'Little Girl' series of Magnolia! We carry many varieties at Nature Hills, including Ann, Susan, Betty, and Jane.
They look very effective in rows. Line your driveway, or use them as a living fence. Create an impressive, tall solid hedge by planting them four feet apart on center. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next, and they'll grow together and touch.
Grow an outdoor room with living walls. Curve the lines, or vary the planting width. Plant two or even three deep in some places for a wild, natural look.
Take time as you site your tree. Study your land and play around with the potted plants. Spin your potted tree around in a full circle to study all the angles. Fit your Black Tulip™ Magnolia to your space as you plant it.
Creating a deck? Plant one or two trees, so that they'll send a few long, low branches over the far corner. You'll love studying the special blooms up close!
Do a bit of careful consideration when deciding where to plant your new Black Tulip™ Magnolia. They won't like to be moved once they get their roots settled in your native soil.
Have existing mature evergreens? Soften their look by adding a raised planting bed on their sunny side. Add Black Tulip™ Magnolia, Ruby Falls Weeping Redbud, Renaissance Spirea, and Deutzia for a sultry look.
You'll love the look of a Black Tulip™ Magnolia specimen tree in a large mulched bed.
#ProPlantTips for Care
For the best flowering, plant your Magnolia in a spot that receives full sun. If the summers are blazing hot where you live, it will appreciate partial shade in the afternoon.
It really prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Add a three-inch layer of pine bark or pine straw mulch over the root system.
Keep it watered with a medium amount on a regular schedule. This is most important during their first season in your landscape.
Once they are established, older plants can tolerate a bit of occasional drought. However, we recommend that you protect your investment with supplemental water as needed.
Be mindful regarding nitrogen-rich lawn fertilizer and ensure it stays far away, or you'll risk growing lots of leaves, but not many flowers.
Pruning is typically not needed. Wait until after the flowers are passed if you want to shape the tree. You can select several of the flowering branches for cut flower arrangements, as well. Simply place them in tall, skinny interior vases filled with water and weighted down with glass beads, or a floral frog. Change the water daily until the blooms fade.
