Frequently Asked Questions
Gorgeous Magnolia blooms in early to mid-spring, typically a bit later than traditional star magnolias. This often helps it avoid late frost damage.
The blooms are large and goblet-shaped, with rich pink to purple tones. They make a striking impact and stand out beautifully against a blue sky or green backdrop.
Gorgeous Magnolia needs very little pruning. Shape after flowering only if needed. Avoid pruning in fall or winter as you may remove flower buds for the following season.
