Magnolia x 'Genie' pbr

Common Name: Magnolia ‘Genie’ PBR

Description:
Magnolia ‘Genie’ PBR is a breathtaking deciduous magnolia variety, prized for its deep burgundy-red, tulip-shaped flowers that bloom from late winter through spring. Unlike many magnolias, ‘Genie’ often produces a second flush of blooms in late summer, extending its seasonal interest. The flowers emerge on bare branches before the rich green foliage appears, creating a striking contrast. Compact and slow-growing, this magnolia is ideal for small gardens, feature planting, or large pots. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Genie’ prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a sunny to partially shaded position. It is frost-tolerant and requires minimal pruning, making it a low-maintenance yet highly ornamental choice for any landscape.
