‘Susan’ magnolia is one of the later blooming varieties of magnolias which helps protect the flowers from late frosts. This smaller stature variety can spruce up any entry way. The beautiful pink flowers and a vibrant splash of color in the spring and would make a great addition to a perennial landscape bed. Planting this elegant tree near a window will help give privacy and allows you to enjoy the flowers even when your are inside. If you live near a woodland these trees can also be planted on the outskirts of the forest edge.
