Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

People treasure their Magnolias for their magnificent strength, fantastically fragrant blossoms and incomparable beauty! The grandeur of the Southern Magnolia tree (Magnolia grandiflora) can be yours today with the help of Nature Hills!

The broadleaf evergreen leaves are dark, glossy olive on the top and soft brown on their underside, remaining a constant presence all year round in your landscape! In spring the entire tree becomes festooned in enormous white satellites that smell divine! The bumblebees, butterflies, and other pollinators will agree and relish in the nectar and pollen they offer! Fall brings reddish berry-like seedpods that the birds adore!

Growing into a tall, oval presence up to 80 feet in height and 40 feet in width, these natives of the Southeastern US have strong stems and branches. The gray smooth bark and strong lumber were regarded for making furniture! Growing throughout USDA planting zones 6 to 10, these trees shrug off heat, sun, humidity, pests, and disease!

Planting and Application:

These are supremely ornamental lawn trees, adding their delightful year-round presence to your landscape while boosting curb appeal! Everyone on the block will adore these flowering trees when in bloom! But only you and your pollinators and Hummingbirds will be able to enjoy their sweet lemony scent! Use the Magnolia near your patio, picture window, or front entrance anywhere you'll see it from indoors and smell it outside.

This fragrance of the 8-10 inch wide flowers is another reason to plant the Southern Magnolia as a backyard shade tree, casting cooling relief, perfuming your seating areas and glowing as it towers over the Moon Garden! If you have the room, you’ll love the natural look created by using 3, 5, or 7 of them in a grouping that wildlife will love!

You can train your tree into a more shrubby form, keeping the limbs growing to the ground. Allowing you to use these evergreens as tall privacy screens and windbreaks! Imagine a fragrant hedge that blocks a nosy neighbor, hides an eyesore, screens your yard from the street, and creates year-round garden walls around your outdoor entertaining rooms!

This tree will provide a pleasing background for other smaller flowering trees and shrubs in your yard, particularly coniferous evergreens!

  • Large Green Top/Brown Underside Leaves
  • Broadleaf Evergreen Tree
  • Lemony Scented Large White Flowers

  • Specimen, Shade, Flowering Hedges & Lasting Presence

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Magnolia trees need sun, both for the most blooms and for the strongest growth. Plant in a well-drained slightly acidic soil with regular moisture access, especially for their first year in the ground. In its wild setting, it grows in coastal wetlands in acidic loamy soils. For the best performance, give it an acid fertilizer like Dr. Earth Acid Lovers Organic and Natural Premium Fertilizer in spring and mid-summer to maintain low soil pH.

Once established, just give your Magnolia a regular schedule of supplemental water, if rainfall isn't sufficient. This is especially important when the plants are young. Provide 3-4 inches of arborist mulch to hold in soil moisture more consistently and insulate the roots.

Prune your tree after those magnificent flowers have faded, removing crossing limbs and opening the interior to sunlight penetration and air circulation. Magnolias are evergreens that keep their leaves all year round, but old leaves do turn yellow and drop to make room for fresh new leaves.
