One of the best-known and most widely planted Magnolia species in Europe is Magnolia x soulangeana. The shrub grows to a height of 4 to 8 meters and can spread just as wide. Because of its height and width, it is best suited for larger gardens, parks, or wider green spaces.
This magnolia blooms profusely before the leaves emerge, producing white-pink flowers that can be sensitive to night frost. The light green leaves emerge during and after flowering. The elongated leaves are relatively large compared to other magnolia cultivars.
Magnolia soulangeana is a hybrid between Magnolia denudata and Magnolia liliiflora. This magnolia was first described by Etienne Soulange-Bodin (1774–1846), a French officer during the Napoleonic era and a renowned French horticulturist.
