Magnolia soulangeana 'Burgundy Glow'

Common Name: Magnolia ‘Burgundy Glow’

Description:
Magnolia × soulangeana ‘Burgundy Glow’ is a stunning deciduous tree known for its spectacular deep burgundy-purple, goblet-shaped flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. The large, fragrant blossoms appear on bare branches, creating a striking contrast against the winter landscape. As the season progresses, lush green foliage emerges, turning golden in autumn for added seasonal interest. This variety thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring a sunny to partially shaded position with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. A slow to moderate grower, ‘Burgundy Glow’ makes an excellent feature tree, focal point, or part of a mixed garden border. It is tolerant of frost and requires minimal pruning, with an occasional trim after flowering to maintain shape.
