Magnolia ‘Susan’ Tree – Large Purple Pink Flowering Magnolia – Supplied in a 3 Litre Pot – By Direct Plants
Bring vibrant colour and elegant beauty to your garden with the stunning Magnolia ‘Susan’, supplied here as a strong, healthy plant in a 3 litre pot by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, this exceptional ornamental magnolia is highly prized for its masses of deep purple-pink flowers, compact growth habit, and outstanding spring and summer displays.
Magnolia ‘Susan’ is one of the most popular varieties from the renowned "Little Girl" magnolia collection, producing an abundance of large goblet-shaped blooms in rich purple-pink shades with lighter interiors. Flowering later than many traditional magnolias, it often avoids damage from late frosts and provides a prolonged flowering period, making it an excellent choice for reliable seasonal colour.
Its neat, compact form makes it ideal for smaller gardens, borders, patios, and feature planting, where it creates a spectacular focal point. Fresh green foliage follows the blooms, providing attractive structure and texture throughout the growing season.
Supplied as a strong, healthy, well-established specimen in a large 3 litre pot, this premium magnolia offers excellent establishment potential and years of beautiful flowering displays.
