Magnolia Judy

Judy Magnolia

Magnolia ‘Judy’ is a deciduous shrub or small tree with a narrow upright to rounded habit, featuring green foliage and spring flowers in shades of pink to pink-purple with paler interiors. Information on this cultivar is a bit limited compared with more common magnolias, but available horticultural references describe it as a smaller flowering magnolia suited to sunny, well-drained sites.

Features & Landscape Uses:
Excellent for specimen planting, mixed shrub borders, and smaller gardens. Its upright habit and pink spring flowers make it useful where a narrower flowering magnolia is needed. Because published details on this cultivar are somewhat sparse, exact flower tone and mature habit may vary slightly by source and growing conditions.

Care:
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil with regular moisture during establishment. Avoid poorly drained sites, and prune only lightly after flowering if shaping is needed
