RUSTICA RUBRA MAGNOLIA TREE 7gal

Rustica Rubra Magnolia! This genuinely spectacular tree announces spring with a bold statement of color. Imagine large, goblet-shaped flowers, a rich reddish-purple on the outside, softening to a lighter, almost rosy-purple within. These substantial blooms are breathtaking and create a dramatic focal point in the early spring garden, often appearing before the leaves unfurl.   

'Rustica Rubra' is known for its vigorous growth and can eventually reach a height and spread of 20 feet, creating a lovely, rounded canopy. Its deep green foliage provides a lush backdrop for later-blooming plants. This Saucer Magnolia thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Consistent watering, especially when young, will help it establish and flourish.   

To give your 'Rustica Rubra' the best possible start, amend the planting hole generously with Watters Premium Mulch. This will improve soil structure and moisture retention, which is important in our Arizona climate. A feeding in early spring with Watters 7-4-4 All Purpose Plant Food will provide the essential nutrients for strong growth and those magnificent, ruby-red blooms you'll eagerly anticipate each year. This magnolia truly commands attention and brings a touch of dramatic beauty to your landscape.
