Magnolia soulangeana (Saucer Magnolia)
The saucer magnolia is a popular blooming tree or big shrub that was developed by crossing Magnolia liliflora and Magnolia denudata. The massive early spring blossoms arise before the leaves emerge, while fewer numbers of flowers bloom after the leaves emerge. The plant's crown is attractively rounded, making it an excellent landscape feature. The blooms of the natural species are pinkish-white, but there are numerous cultivars with pure pink, magenta, and purple flowers.
