Olive & Palm Mountain
Magnolia Grandiflora Potted
A more compact, versatile version of the majestic Magnolia grandiflora, this specimen is perfectly sized for patio containers or smaller garden beds. It retains the signature architectural appeal of the species: thick, leathery, dark-green foliage with striking, velvety, bronze-toned undersides. At 3 feet tall, it provides a refined, evergreen presence that introduces a touch of classic, timeless elegance to any outdoor space, all while maintaining the ability to produce those famous, large, creamy-white, citrus-scented flowers.

- Size (H × W)
- 3 Feet Height 25L Pot cm
- Sunlight
- Full Sun to Partial Shade. A sunny, warm position is best to encourage healthy growth and future flowering. In hotter summer months, a little dappled afternoon shade can help protect the leaves from potential scorch
- Watering
- Moderate. Keep the soil consistently moist during the active growing season. Being in a 25L pot, the soil will dry out faster than in the ground, so check moisture levels regularly. Avoid leaving the pot in a saucer of standing water.
- Soil & Drainage
- Requires rich, slightly acidic, and well-drained soil. If repotting or potting up, use a high-quality loam-based compost (like John Innes No. 3) mixed with grit to ensure the roots remain healthy and free from waterlogging.
