Magnolia x soulangeana ‘Rustica Rubra’ is a showstopper in the garden, this large, spreading deciduous shrub dazzles with its huge, fragrant flowers. The 5-inch, goblet-shaped blooms open bright rosy-pink on the outside with pure white interiors, creating a stunning bicolor effect as the petals unfurl. Flowers emerge before the leaves in early spring, providing weeks of dramatic color. The blooms are followed by eye-catching red fruits that birds will love. In the fall, dark green leaves turn a rich golden bronze, adding seasonal interest.

A perfect specimen for small gardens or city landscapes, ‘Rustica Rubra’ thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It reaches 20-25 ft. tall and wide, making it ideal as a standout shrub or small tree. Best planted in late fall or early spring, this Magnolia benefits from a sheltered site away from cold winds, as late frosts can damage its buds. Mulch and regular watering will help it establish in its first year. With its stunning spring blooms and hardy nature, this is a must-have for any garden looking to make a statement.
