Magnolia grandiflora Ferruginea

Common Name: Ferruginea Magnolia

Magnolia grandiflora ‘Ferruginea’ (Southern Magnolia) is a bushy, conical evergreen tree with glossy dark green leaves and distinctive brown, furry undersides. Large, creamy white, fragrant flowers are produced from summer into autumn, giving it the classic bold Southern magnolia look with especially rich foliage contrast.   Type: Tree (Evergreen) Mature Size: 15–25' W × 15–25' H USDA Zones: 7a–9b Form: Conical, bushy   Light: Full sun to part shade Soil / Water: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils; moderate water, prefers consistent moisture while establishing Bloom Time / Length: Summer into autumn; intermittent bloom over a long season   Wildlife: Bees, birds. This is inferred from Southern magnolia’s fragrant flowers and seed-bearing habit rather than stated specifically for this cultivar.   Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent as a specimen, evergreen screen, or lawn tree. The dark glossy foliage with rusty-brown undersides gives strong year-round interest, and the large fragrant flowers add a long season of ornamental value. Care: Plant in well-drained soil with room to mature. Water regularly during establishment and mulch to help conserve soil moisture. Prune only as needed to shape when young or remove damaged branches.
