Magnolia Pinkie

Common Name:
Magnolia 'Pinkie'

Description:
Magnolia 'Pinkie' is a stunning small deciduous magnolia, prized for its vibrant pink flowers and compact growth habit. This hardy, cold-tolerant variety is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, courtyards, or feature planting. In early to mid-spring, it bursts into bloom with large, fragrant, deep pink flowers that have a delicate, goblet-shaped form, standing out against bare branches. The foliage emerges after flowering, with lush green leaves that provide a fresh, vibrant backdrop through the warmer months before turning golden in autumn. 'Pinkie' prefers a sunny to partly shaded position in well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. It is a relatively low-maintenance tree, requiring minimal pruning apart from shaping after flowering. Regular watering during dry spells will help establish strong growth.
