Best site for magnolia soulangeana

These magnolias prefer rich, well drained but moist soil with plenty of organic matter. Plant in a protected area. They prefer morning sun with filtered shade in the heat of day, although will cope with full sun if well mulched and moist, but such conditions often promote earlier flowering which is subject to cold damage. Make sure that you keep it evenly moist – pay particular attention to watering needs in times of drought.
