LILY MAGNOLIA
Magnolia liliflora
SKU: 1377-005
Description
Magnolia liliiflora, also known as Mulan magnolia, purple magnolia, lily magnolia, is a small tree with large, pink to purple showy flowers bloom in early spring, before the leaf buds emerge. As a deciduous shrub or small tree, it reaches heights of up to 4m. This species is also the parent of the popular hybrid Saucer magnolia, M. x soulangeana. The flower colour can vary, ranging from dark pink, to light pink, lilac and white.
Type: Small tree or large shrub
Height: 4m, 13'
Hardiness zones: 5-8
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
