SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA, BULL BAY
Magnolia grandiflora
SKU: 1383-005
Description
This is the Magnolia commonly used for evergreen winter and Christmas arrangements! Southern Magnolia or Bull Bay, is treasured for its creamy white flowers, which can expand up to a foot wide and release an incredibly fragrant aroma, it is considered to be one of the world's most strongly scented flowers. Native to the southeastern United States, this classic tree is renowned for its large, dark green leaves and impressive, white blossoms. Due to its attractive features and rich fragrance, it's now widely cultivated around the world.
Although we are in zone 5 at Ferri Seeds, we will be growing this tree in a large pot, and overwintering in a garage, to use as a patio plant in summer, and so that we can harvest the stunning foliage for fall arrangements.
Rare seeds, and available for a very limited time due to short viability window.
Type: Tree
Height: Up to 90'
Hardiness zones: 6-10
Location: Sun or part sun
Seeds per pack: 5
Availability: If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as these seeds have a very shorty viability window, and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a short time.
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Soak in water for 24 hours. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 90 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally within 60 days after the warming period, though they could take a few months.
If these seeds are received in late fall or early winter (when it's already cold out), they can be sown outdoors for spring germination. Sow seed 1/2" deep, keep moist, mulch the seed bed, remove mulch upon germination
