Magnolia 'Genie' produces beautiful lightly scented tulip-shaped flowers in late Spring. The flowers start as a blackish-red bud and open to display a rich maroon colour. They are frequently followed by a second round of flowering in mid-Summer.
This is a deciduous Magnolia with mid-green leaves. It has a fairly upright habit, forming a tall shrub or a compact tree. You can expect a height and spread of approximately 4m by 1.5m in 20 years.
'Genie' is the result of 15 years of breeding cultivars of Magnolia soulangeana and Magnolia liliiflora. It is a fantastic variety for a small or medium garden because of the compact size, likely two flowering periods and rich colour of the flowers.
AKA Purple magnolia, Purple tulip magnolia.
