Growing Genie Magnolia

Plant it in full sun. It prefers moderate water. It is hardy in USDA zones 5–9. Expect it to reach about 13 ft tall and 9.8 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 12 years.

When to plant Genie Magnolia

Plant Genie Magnolia in early spring as soon as the soil is workable, or in early fall at least six weeks before your first frost, so roots establish in cool weather. For the middle of its hardy zones 5 to 9 range, spring means March to May and fall means September or October. Once settled, it blooms from April to May.

Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 7 in March.
