The Magnolia × soulangeana ‘Lennei’ is a deciduous hybrid shrub that grows up to 3-4 meters tall. It is quite hardy, withstanding frost and tolerating temperatures as low as -15°C. In early spring, it begins to bloom with large, fragrant, goblet-shaped flowers. These blossoms have striking purple-pink exteriors and white interiors, which easily attract bees and butterflies.

Furthermore, this magnolia thrives best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-drained, acidic to neutral soil, and regular moisture is essential. Therefore, adding mulch can help retain water and keep the roots hydrated. However, it is not suited to strong coastal winds; thus, it’s better to plant it in a sheltered spot. As autumn approaches, its lush green foliage gradually turns yellow, adding a burst of seasonal color.

Overall, this shrub is ideal for medium-sized gardens because it offers striking early-season blooms and attracts pollinators.
