This hardy Magnolia produces large blooms, reaching 15cm (6") across, with two tone purple and slightly twisted petals. Magnolia 'Susan' has a neat, compact and upright habit, making it perfect for deciduous borders, but it prefers more acidic soils. Easy to grow and maintain, this plant is ideal for borders in smaller gardens as well as containers. Culinary note: The young flowers, once separated, can be pickled and then used either on their own as a treat or in salads. Plant magnolias in a sunny or semi shaded position with protection from cold winds and hard spring frosts. Magnolias prefer a rich, moist, well drained, acid to neutral soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to improve the soil prior to planting, mixing it thoroughly and deeply. Magnolia plants establish quicker when their roots are shaded. Following planting, apply a mulch of rotted bark chips, manure or garden compost, taking care not to mound it around the stem of the plant. When growing magnolia in a patio container use a blend of ericaceous compost mixed with John Innes No. 3. Water regularly throughout the growing season until young magnolias are fully established. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted bark chips or garden compost to the base of the plant. Magnolias require little pruning other than to maintain their shape and remove damaged stems or crossing stems.
