Kay Parris Magnolia

Kay Parris Magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana 'Kay Parris') is a stunning deciduous shrub or small tree renowned for its large, fragrant blossoms and elegant, rounded form. This cultivar is especially prized for its vivid pink to purple flowers that bloom in early spring, often before the leaves appear. The flowers are cup-shaped, sometimes tinged with white at the center, and they create a striking contrast against the tree's dark green foliage. With a mature height of about 12-15 feet and a width of 8-10 feet, Kay Parris Magnolia fits well in smaller gardens and landscapes, offering both beauty and structure.

In addition to its gorgeous blooms, Kay Parris Magnolia is a relatively low-maintenance tree that thrives in a variety of well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It has a moderate growth rate and typically requires little pruning other than removing dead or damaged branches. This magnolia is more tolerant of colder climates compared to some other magnolia varieties, making it suitable for a wider range of regions. Its attractive flowers and manageable size make it an ideal choice for use as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or as part of a flowering hedge, bringing a touch of spring beauty to the garden for weeks.
