Magnolia virginiana, commonly known as sweetbay magnolia, is a graceful, semi-evergreen to evergreen tree valued for its fragrant, creamy white flowers and attractive foliage with silvery undersides. Blooming from late spring into summer, it adds a soft, elegant presence to the landscape and is well suited for use near patios, water features, or as an accent tree.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist; tolerates wet conditions once established
• Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; shape as desired and remove dead or crossing branches
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth
