A Show-Stopping Hybrid with Large, Vibrant Flowers

Magnolia x galaxy, or Galaxy Magnolia, is a hybrid tree that brings an impressive display of large, deep purple-pink flowers to your garden in spring. Known for its striking blossoms and compact size, Galaxy Magnolia is perfect for those who want the beauty of magnolias without the overwhelming size of larger varieties. Its bold, vibrant flowers and elegant form make it a standout tree in any landscape.

Why Choose Galaxy Magnolia?

  • Large, Showy Flowers: The deep purple-pink blossoms are much larger than typical magnolia flowers, reaching up to 10–12 inches in diameter.
  • Compact Size: Unlike larger magnolia varieties, Galaxy Magnolia has a more compact, upright habit, making it perfect for smaller gardens or urban landscapes.
  • Long Blooming Period: Galaxy Magnolia blooms later in spring, ensuring you can enjoy its flowers for an extended period, even as other magnolias are finishing their bloom cycle.
  • Hardy and Resilient: It is relatively hardy compared to other magnolia species, and can handle a range of soil conditions and climates.

Key Features:

  • Compact and Upright Form: The tree has a pyramidal, upright habit, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a focal point.
  • Hardy and Low Maintenance: It thrives in USDA Zones 5–9 and is more tolerant of a variety of soil types than many other magnolia varieties.

  • Plant Size: 15–20 feet tall, 10–15 feet wide.
  • Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–9.
  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade.

  • Urban Gardens: Its smaller size and upright form make it an excellent choice for urban gardens or narrow spaces.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
