Magnolia soulangeana, the saucer magnolia, is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming large flowers in various shades of pink. It is one of the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture, being widely planted in the British Isles, the United States and Canada!

Growing as a multi-stemmed large shrub or small tree, it has shiny, dark green oval-shaped leaves. Its flowers emerge dramatically on a bare tree in early spring, with the deciduous leaves expanding shortly thereafter, lasting through summer until autumn.

Magnolia soulangeana flowers are large, commonly 10-20 cm (4-8 in) across!

Magnolia soulangeana is notable for its ease of cultivation, and its relative tolerance to wind and alkaline soils (two vulnerabilities of many other magnolias).
