Its compact size makes it the perfect choice for smaller gardens, courtyards, or even containers. Best of all, it’s incredibly low-maintenance, thriving with minimal care. Indulge your green thumb without the overwhelming commitment – the Jane Magnolia is your ticket to effortless elegance.

  • Small size that fits perfectly in any yard
  • Eye-catching pink and purple blooms
  • Tough and adaptable to a variety of climates (zones 4-8)
  • Easy to care for with simple watering and well-drained soil

The Jane Magnolia’s flowers are a true spectacle. They emerge in early spring, their goblet-shaped blooms reaching up to six inches across, cloaking the bare branches in a breathtaking display of color. The petals unfurl in a rich, reddish-purple hue, deepening towards the center before yielding to a pristine white eye.

Their texture is delicate yet resilient, soft to the touch with a velvety feel. As the season progresses, the intense color gradually softens, transitioning to a more subdued pink and eventually fading as the flower matures. While the initial bloom is the most dramatic, the Jane Magnolia often surprises with sporadic reblooms throughout the summer, offering intermittent bursts of color to your garden.

How to Plant Jane Magnolia

Choose the Right Spot

Plant your Jane Magnolia in a location receiving full sun to part shade. Opt for full sun in cooler climates, while afternoon shade can be beneficial in hotter regions to prevent scorching of leaves.

The soil should be well-drained and slightly acidic. If your existing soil is heavy clay or lacks acidity, amending it with organic matter like compost can improve drainage and create a more suitable environment.

Measure the Space

At maturity, Jane Magnolias reach 10-15 feet tall with an 8-12 foot spread. When planting multiple trees, space them 12 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and full growth of their branches.

Dig the Hole

Make a hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball of your Jane Magnolia and just as deep. Loosen the surrounding soil to encourage healthy root development beyond the initial planting hole.

Plant It

Carefully remove your Jane Magnolia from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root crown sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole and tamp gently to eliminate air pockets.

Water Thoroughly

Water your newly planted Jane Magnolia deeply, soaking the soil around the base until water runs freely from the drainage holes. This ensures a thoroughly saturated root ball for healthy growth.

Mulch and Care

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, keeping it a few inches from the trunk. Replenish mulch as needed throughout the year. Water regularly during the first growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Established Jane Magnolias are more drought tolerant, but deep watering during dry spells is still beneficial.

Why Choose Jane Magnolia?

This low-maintenance bloomer graces your yard with effortless elegance, year after year, without demanding hours of your precious time. Imagine lazy summer evenings spent under a canopy of soft green foliage, the Jane Magnolia’s shade a cool retreat from the afternoon sun.

Beyond its undeniable beauty, the Jane Magnolia is a haven for pollinators, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden with its sweet fragrance. Don’t wait to create a spring masterpiece in your own backyard. Order your Jane Magnolia today and start dreaming of the magic it will bring to your home.

Sunlight

Jane Magnolias thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. In hotter climates, afternoon shade can be beneficial to protect leaves from scorching.

Watering

Regular watering is essential, especially during the first growing season. Once established, reduce watering frequency but ensure deep and infrequent watering during dry spells.

Soil

Well-drained, slightly acidic soil is ideal. Incorporate organic matter to improve soil structure and drainage.

Mulching

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots.

Fertilizing

Feed your Jane Magnolia with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid over-fertilization.

Pruning

Minimal pruning is required. Prune only to remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches immediately after flowering.

Monitoring for Pests and Diseases

Regularly inspect your tree for signs of pests or diseases. Treat any issues promptly to prevent further damage.

Upon Arrival

Immediately upon arrival, thoroughly water your Jane Magnolia to hydrate the root ball and establish good soil contact.

During the First Year

Consistent watering is crucial for the first year to encourage strong root development. Water deeply and regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

After the First Year

Established Jane Magnolias are more drought-tolerant but still benefit from regular watering, especially during extended dry periods. Monitor soil moisture and adjust watering accordingly.

Extra Tips

Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain soil moisture. Deep watering encourages deep root growth.

Upon Arrival

Avoid fertilizing your Jane Magnolia immediately upon arrival. Allow the tree time to establish itself before introducing additional nutrients.

During the First Year

Fertilize your Jane Magnolia lightly in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support initial growth.

After the First Year

Continue fertilizing your Jane Magnolia annually in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Monitor your tree’s health and adjust fertilization accordingly.

Extra Tips

Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Water thoroughly after fertilizing to help the nutrients reach the root zone.

Tools You’ll Need

Gather the necessary tools for pruning, including hand pruners for small branches, loppers for larger branches, and a saw for thick branches. Clean and sharp tools are essential for precise cuts and preventing disease transmission.

Pruning Steps

Prune your Jane Magnolia immediately after flowering to avoid removing next year’s flower buds. Focus on removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches. Shape the tree as desired while maintaining a natural form.

After Pruning Care

Water your Jane Magnolia thoroughly after pruning to reduce stress and promote healing. Monitor pruning cuts for signs of disease or insect infestation.

Extra Tips

Avoid heavy pruning as Jane Magnolias are susceptible to pruning wounds. Consider consulting a professional arborist for complex pruning tasks or if you’re unsure about pruning techniques.
