Magnolias thrive in rich, moist, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. Before planting, enrich the soil with plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost, mixing it in thoroughly. Shading the roots will help young magnolia plants establish more quickly. After planting, mulch with rotted bark chips, manure, or garden compost, being careful not to pile it up around the stem. When planting magnolia in a patio container, use a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3. Water regularly during the growing season until the plants are well-established. In spring, apply a mulch of well-rotted bark chips or garden compost around the base of the plant.Product Specifications: Position: Sun or Semi Shade. Height: up to 400cm (157in).
