This Magnola produces goblet-shaped flowers that are dark purple-red and bloom for about ten weeks through the spring, with a possible second summer flowering. The flowers have up to 12 tepals. Magnolia 'Genie' produces healthy leaves and is proven to be frost hardy, making it a great choice for cooler climates. It is ideal for planting in areas with limited space. Magnolia 'Genie' is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia 'Sweet Valentine' and the hybrid formed between Magnolia x soulangeana 'Sweet Simplicity' and Magnolia liliiflora 'Nigra'. 'Genie' was selected by Vance Hooper in 1998 in Waitara, Taranaki, New Zealand (PVR 2853).

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
