Magnolia sieboldii
SIEBOLD'S MAGNOLIA, KOREAN MOUNTAIN MAGNOLIA
SKU: 1590-002
Description
Magnolia sieboldii, or Siebold's magnolia, also known as Korean mountain magnolia and Oyama magnolia, is native to east Asia in China, Japan, and Korea. It is a large deciduous shrub or small tree 5–10 m (16–33 ft) tall.
The flowers, unlike the spring flowering magnolias, open primarily in late spring and early summer, and continue intermittently afterwards.
Magnolia sieboldii is grown as an ornamental tree in gardens. It is one of the hardiest magnolias, successful in cultivation as far north as Arboretum Mustila in Finland.
Siebold's magnolia is the national flower of North Korea.
Very few seeds are available, so this is a very rare find!
Type: Small tree or large shrub
Hardiness zones: 6-9, sometimes zones 5
Location: Sun or part sun
Seeds per pack: 2 large seeds
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 for best germination rates. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. 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 60-90 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 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer, and will germinate irregularly over a long period of time. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait!
