Black Tulip Magnolia - 5 Gallon
- Darkest, most dramatic tulip magnolia—deep burgundy‑red, 6″ blooms appear before foliage.
- Compact, elegant habit: typically 15–20 ft. tall and 6–10 ft. wide for small gardens and front yards.
- Early spring show with showy, cut‑worthy flowers; ideal close to entries and patios.
- Performs best in full sun with deep, organically rich, evenly moist, well‑drained, slightly acidic soil.
Black Tulip Magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana ‘Jurmag1’ PPAF) brings a bold, couture bloom to the spring landscape. Slender, multi‑branched stems are smothered in large, goblet‑shaped burgundy‑red flowers before leaves emerge, delivering a high‑impact focal point that fits urban lots and refined front gardens. This easy‑care, deciduous magnolia thrives in sunny exposures with moisture‑retentive, well‑drained soil and rewards with a polished, four‑season presence—stunning in pairs, as a specimen, or even in large containers and hedge‑like groupings.
Plant Description
A compact, multi‑branched saucer magnolia selected for exceptionally dark tulip‑shaped blooms and a refined, upright outline that integrates beautifully into foundation plantings and intimate gardens.
Flowers
Rich, deep burgundy‑red, cup/goblet‑shaped blossoms to ~6″ across; blooms cover bare branches for a dramatic early‑season display and are suitable for cutting.
Bloom Time
Early spring, prior to leaf‑out; in favorable climates, an occasional light rebloom may follow as the season progresses.
Foliage
Deciduous, medium to dark green leaves follow the bloom, providing a fresh summer canopy and clean backdrop for perennials and flowering shrubs.
Sun Requirements
Full sun for peak flowering and strong structure; light afternoon shade is welcome in hotter summer regions.
Watering Needs
Keep soil evenly moist—never waterlogged—during establishment; once established, water deeply when the root zone begins to dry.
Soil Requirements
Prefers deep, organically rich, slightly acidic, well‑drained soils. Avoid heavy, poorly drained sites; mulch to conserve moisture and moderate temperature, keeping mulch a few inches from the trunk.
Growth & Size
Moderate growth to approximately 15–20 ft. tall and 6–10 ft. wide; naturally slender, multi‑branched habit requires minimal structural pruning.
Special Features
Darkest tulip‑magnolia coloration on the market; showy flowers for cutting; easy‑care; deer and rabbit resistant.
Landscape Uses
Use as a spring specimen by paths and entries, in pairs to frame vistas, as a backdrop to camellias and azaleas, en masse for a seasonal hedge, or as a statement in large containers.
Care Instructions
Water deeply and regularly the first few seasons to establish; feed in early spring. Prune only after flowering if shaping is needed, avoiding heavy cuts into old wood. Site away from frost pockets and drying winds to protect buds.
Container & Small‑Space Tips
Choose a large, well‑draining container and acidic potting mix; position in full sun. Maintain even moisture and refresh the top layer of mix annually; root‑prune and repot as needed to sustain vigor.
