Blushing Belle Magnolia (Tulip Tree) – 7 Gallon Pot

---

The Blushing Belle Magnolia is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. She prefers full sun for best flowering, however will handle some partial shade. In the deep South, some shade during the hottest mid-afternoon hours of summer might be appreciated. She likes a consistently moist soil but constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Tolerates short dry periods when established. In alkaline soils, apply soil sulfur and/or chelated iron to increase acidity. Pruning usually isn’t necessary, however stray or damaged branches can be pruned immediately after flowering in spring. Feed after flowering in spring with a mild organic plant food or a well-balanced shrub and tree food containing iron or sulfur.
