Description

A magnificent spring flowering tree with a flower show that will always have you looking forward to spring, ‘Yellow Lantern’ is a hybrid tulip Magnolia resulting from a cross between Magnolia acuminate subcordata and Magnolia soulangiana ‘Alexandrina’ that starts producing flowers at a very young age. It is adored for its profusion of large (6-8″ across), tulip-shaped, creamy-yellow, tulip-like flowers with a wonderful lemony fragrance. The flowers appear at every stem-tip of the tree and last longer than other similar magnolias. Light green leaves follow the flowers, turning to dark green through the warm season and yellowish in fall. Yellow Lantern forms a single-trunk tree with a pyramidal canopy 20 to 25 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide when all grown up, making for a good fit in landscape borders or to frame corners in home foundation plantings.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 20 to 25 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide at maturity, the Yellow Lantern Magnolia is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders or to frame a home or other building. Plant near decks, patios, porches, and other outdoor living spaces where the pretty flowers and lemony fragrance can be enjoyed up close. It can also be grown in large pots, planters, and containers of 18 inches or more in rim diameter but will eventually need to be transplanted to the landscape. It is a fine addition to yellow theme gardens, fragrance gardens, sensory gardens, and cottage gardens.

Growing Preferences

The Yellow Lantern Magnolia is easy to grow in moist, well-drained, acidic soil with average fertility and full sun to partial shade. It prefers full sun for best flowering, however will handle partial shade. In hot summer climates of the Deep South, some shade during the hottest mid-afternoon hours of summer will be appreciated. Avoid constantly soggy or wet soils. Applying soil sulfur and or chelated iron in alkaline soils increases acidity. Pruning is unnecessary; 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.
