Few plants can match the charm of Magnolia Susan — a compact, deciduous tree that bursts into stunning pinkish-purple blooms each spring. Its elegant tulip-shaped flowers open just as the weather warms, bringing a touch of romance and calm to any garden or outdoor space.

What Makes Magnolia Susan So Special?

Magnolia Susan belongs to the “Little Girl” hybrid series developed for smaller gardens. It’s perfect for anyone who loves magnolias but doesn’t have space for a large tree. This variety grows slowly, usually reaching about 2.5 to 3 meters in height, and rewards you with a spectacular display of flowers every year.

Growing Magnolia Susan in Cyprus

Yes — Magnolia Susan can grow in Cyprus, but it does require a bit of attention to soil and location:

Soil: Cyprus soil is often alkaline, so it’s best to mix in acid-loving compost (ericaceous) and organic matter to create a more balanced growing environment.
Location: Choose a sheltered spot, ideally protected from strong coastal winds or occasional cold snaps.
Watering: Regular watering is essential, especially in dry months — magnolias don’t like to dry out completely.
Mulching: A layer of leafmould or manure in spring helps retain moisture and nourish the roots.

With the right care, Magnolia Susan can flourish beautifully even in the Mediterranean climate, providing a burst of colour every spring.
