Deep purple-red buds unfurl in mid spring to reveal goblet shaped flowers with gently twisted petals. The fragrant blooms, each measuring up to 15cm (6) across have purple petals, deeper in colour on the outside, with paler interiors. Magnolia 'Susan' has a neat upright habit, remaining relatively compact with maturity. This showy deciduous Magnolia is perfect for acid borders in smaller gardens or grown in a large container. Height: 4m (12'). Spread: 3m (10').Culinary note: The young flowers, once separated, can be pickled and then used either on their own as a treat or in salads. Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
